Do-re-mi Hand Motions

Do-Re-Mi Hand motions to remember: (for the "Do, Re, Mi" Reprise)

Hands should be flat, like “paper” in paper rock scissors when possible, or like you're making a puppet or a duck mouth with your hands, for the higher notes.

Position for each note in relation to your body:

(Low) Do – below belly button
(Low) Re – belly button
Mi – around middle of ribs
Fa – chest/collarbone level
So – chin level (probably about here your elbows won’t be able to be out anymore)
La – eye level
Ti – top of head
(High) Do – just above head level
(High) Re – Just a little higher than high Do

So now practice, please:
So - Do - La - Fa - Mi - Do - Re
So - Do - La - Ti - Do - Re - Do
