Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with A-be-see
When you sing you begin with do-re-mi
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
The first three notes just happen to be
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti
Letยดs see if I can make it easy
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
So-do!
Now children, do-re-mi-fa-so and so on
are only the tools we use to build a song
Once you have these notes in your heads
you can sing a million different tunes by mixing them up
Like this
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
Can you do that?
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
So Do La Ti Do Re Do
So Do La Ti Do Re Do
Now, put it all together
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re, So Do La Ti Do Re Do
Good!
But it doesnยดt mean anything
So we put in words
One word for every note
Like this
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
Together!
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
Do Ti La So Fa Mi Re
Do Mi Mi
Mi So So
Re Fa Fa
La Ti Ti
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to
Do So Do
Re La Fa
Mi Mi Do
Fa Re
So So Do
La La Fa
Ti La So Fa Mi Re
Ti Do oh oh Ti Do So Do
The Do-Re-Mi song is a classic from the movie The Sound of Music and is sung by Julie Andrews with the Von Trapp children. The song is about teaching the basics of music, and it starts off by stating that the very beginning is a very good place to start. It then goes on to explain that when reading, one starts with the alphabet, while in music, it is Do-Re-Mi that one begins with.
Throughout the song, the tune of the notes is explained through fun and easy to remember words. For example, Doe, a deer, a female deer is used to explain the first note; Ray, a drop of golden sun explains the next note and so on. As the song progresses, it becomes more advanced, with more notes being added in, and the children are encouraged to mix up the notes to create different tunes.
The song is a fun way to learn about the basics of music and provides an easy-to-remember foundation for children learning to sing or play an instrument. Additionally, it's a great way to bond with children through music and create an enjoyable learning environment.

Even though this was released in 1965, LOOK AT THE HIGH QUALITY OF THIS!!!!!
@krausfamily4491
Ikr?! Even with the HD on, it looks like it was made in the 2000s!
@sirclassicalhou3650
Oh wow! Now that I look at the high quality, it does look very ahead of its time!
@peteplayz-norskgaming5723
When it was first released it was lower quality and most of the time black and white. The movie was remastered later using more modern computers to process the original film used.
