Choir: Solfege Hand Signs

Here are the hand signs for Solfege, which we will be adding to our singing practice. Take a moment to try them on your own at home. They were invented by John Curwen in the mid-1800's. Hand signs are a way of giving a physical placement for a vocal pitch. The low "do" begins at your midsection. Each pitch is then above the previous one. Thus, you have the hand signs going up when the pitch goes up. The upper "do" is at eye level.
