Do re Mi – Let’s start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read, you begin with A-B-C
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
Oh, let’s see if I can make it easy
Do, a deer, a female deer
Re, a drop of golden sun
Mi, a name, I call myself
Fa, a long, long way to run
So, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow So
Ti, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do, oh, oh, oh
Do, a deer, a female deer
Re, a drop of golden sun
Mi, a name, I call myself
Fa, a long, long way to run
So, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow So
Ti, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do
A deer, a female deer
Re, a drop of golden sun
Mi, a name, I call myself
Fa, a long, long way to run
So, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow So
Ti, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do
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 doesn’t 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
Do, a deer, a female deer
Re, a drop of golden sun
Mi, a name, I call myself
Fa, a long, long way to run
So, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow So
Ti, 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
Do, Mi, Mi
Mi, So, So
Re, Fa, Fa
La, Ti, Ti
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
Do, a deer, a female deer
Re, a drop of golden sun
Mi, a name, I call myself
Fa, a long, long way to run
So, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow So
Ti, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to
So (So, Do)
Re (La, Fa)
Mi (Mi, Do)
Fa (Re)
So (So, Do)
La (La, Fa)
Ti (La, So, Fa, Mi, Re)
Ti, Do
About Julie Andrews
During her childhood, Julia Elizabeth Wells lived in England. She was born on October 1, 1935. The freakish but undeniably lovely four-octave singing voice of her mother, Barbara Ward (Morris), and stepfather, both vaudeville performers, immediately launched her career as a singer. Throughout her childhood and teen years, she performed in music halls, and at age 20, she debuted on stage in “Cinderella” at the London Palladium.
Career and success
Having debuted on Broadway in 1954 with “The Boy Friend”, Andrew became a bona fide star two years later in 1956, playing Eliza Doolittle in the unprecedented hit “My Fair Lady”. She continued to be a star when she appeared in Cinderella (1957) and in Camelot (1960).
Andrews was asked by Walt Disney in 1963 to star in a lavish musical fantasy combining live action and animation. As long as she did not get the role of Doolittle in the upcoming film production of My Fair Lady (1964), she agreed. The following year, Andrews earned an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Walt Disney’s Mary Poppins (1964), following Audrey Hepburn’s My Fair Lady.
Andrews continued to perform on Broadway until 1965, when The Sound of Music was released, the highest-grossing movie of its time and one of the highest-grossing movies ever. It didn’t take long for audiences to identify her only with sugary-sweet nannies and governesses, and they were hesitant to accept her in dramatic roles in The Americanization of Emily (1964) and Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller Torn Curtain (1966). Furthermore, Julie’s subsequent musicals began to reflect the negative effects of the musical-film boom she helped ignite. The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins remain Universal’s most successful films, but Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967) could not compete for worldwide acclaim and recognition. An A-lister! A bombshell at the box office was also Darling Lili (1970).
It was fortunate for Andrews that this did not deter her. Her career in the 1970s included nightclub work and hosting a variety show. Her husband Blake Edwards directed Andrews in films that were unlike anything she had ever done before. Andrews returned to the big screen in 1979. She earned an Oscar nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her performances in 10 (1979), S.O.B. (1981), and Victor/Victoria (1982).
While hosting several specials and starring in a short-lived sitcom, she continued acting throughout the 1980s and 1990s. A newcomer at the time, Anne Hathaway joined her in the 2001 film The Princess Diaries. As Queen Clarisse Renaldi, Andrews reprised her role in The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004), one of the most successful G-rated films of that year. He has appeared in Tooth Fairy (2010), Shrek 2 (2004), Shrek the Third (2007), Enchanted (2007), Shrek Forever After (2010), and Despicable Me (2010), among other movies.
