In episode 92, Melissa Stouffer comes on to talk about what solfege is, how to teach it and use it in your classroom, and how she sees it helping her students to thrive in the music room. Whether you've already implemented solfege, it's brand new to you, or you're just looking for new strategies in using it, you'll find this episode so helpful. I know I learned so much just from my conversation with Melissa.
