Ev ’ry tru ly cul tured mu sic stu dent knows you must learn your scales and your ar peg gi os.
Bring the mu sic ring ing from your chest and not your nose while you sing your scales and your ar peg gi os.
If you’re faith ful to your dai ly prac tic ing, you will find your prog ress is en cour ag ing.
Do mi so mi do mi so mi fa la so it goes, when you do the scales and your ar peg gi os.
Do mi so do, do so mi do.
Do mi so do, do so mi do.
Though at first it seems as though it does n’t show, like a tree, a bil i ty will bloom and grow.
If you’re smart you’ll learn by heart what ev ’ry art ist knows: you must sing your scales and your ar peg
gi os.
This page shows “Scales And Arpeggios” by Sherman Brothers in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 104 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
