Xylophone Duet

You can see on the screen 2 keyboards with notes: Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si, Do.

You can play notes one by one or play chords, or play on two keyboards simultaneously!

A little bit from music theory.

The C major scale consists of the following notes:

C (Do) D (Re) E (Mi) F (Fa) G (Sol) A (La) B (Si)

There are 7 different notes in the scale. When the scale is played, the first note is usually repeated at the end, one octave higher. In this case, that’s the note C.

A triad is a type of chord, and the word is used to distinguish from chords that use more than three notes.

A C Major triad is spelled C (Do )- E (Mi) - G (Sol).

Play with your kids, parents, brothers, sisters, friends and have a fun!

If you don't know how to start - try to play and sing gamma C major from the beginning to the end, - Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si, Do, - and back.

Here you can find some russian kids songs (For simplicity we will use numbers: Do - 1, Re - 2, Mi - 3, Fa - 4, Sol - 5, La - 6, Si - 7, Do - 8):
