“I Hope You Know That Says Sol-Mi-Do"

One of my Musikgarten® Keyboard 1 students bounced into my classroom and stopped to look at what I’d left on the chalkboard from a previous class. “I Hope you know that says sol-mi-do,” he announced.
My reaction was two-fold: first, I could barely contain my laughter at his deadpan, matter-of-fact delivery; and second, I could barely contain my excitement at how quickly he noticed the melodic pattern and how sure of it he was.
