Explanation
The words of “Pianino” are by M. Zayniddinov and the music by J. Najmiddinov. The song is about the school piano with its white and black keys. It begins with the notes do, re, mi, fa, sol, lya, si. We sing it cheerfully and brightly.
Worked examples
From do to si the voice climbs like a staircase from low to high.
Class activity
“Hand staircase”: on do children put their hands on their knees, on si above their heads. They sing the notes going up, then come back down.
