ONLINE Lesson: Feierabend's Conversational Solfege (Step 1 & 2: Turn the Glasses Over)

Hello there guys. This time we're going to learn a sea shanty song entitled Turn the Glasses Over. A sea shanty is a song that's sung by the sailors when they're out there in the sea. It serves us for their entertainment purposes and also it serves as a work song when they sing while they're doing their task in a particular way to be able to synchronize their movements. It goes like this. I've been to Harlem. I've been to Dover. I've traveled each wide world all over, over, over, three times over. Drink all the brandy wine and turn the glasses over. Sailing east. Sailing west. Sailing over the ocean. Better watch out. The boat begins to rock. Leave your girl in the ocean. One more time. Here we go. I've been to Harlem. I've been to Dover. I've traveled each wide world all over, over, over, three times over. Drink all the brandy wine and turn the glasses over. Sailing east. Sailing west. Sailing over the ocean. Better watch out. The boat begins to rock. Or you'll lose your girl in the ocean. One more time. Slower this time. Two and ready go. I've been to Harlem. I've been to Dover. I've traveled each wide world all over, over, over, three times over. Drink all the brandy wine and turn the glasses over. Sailing east. Sailing west. Sailing over the ocean. Better watch out. The boat begins to rock. Or you'll lose your girl in the ocean. This time, sing with me. Here we go. I've been to Harlem. I've been to Dover. I've traveled each wide world all over, over, over, three times over. Drink all the brandy wine and turn the glasses over. Sailing east. Sailing west. Sailing over the ocean. Better watch out. The boat begins to rock. Or you'll lose your girl in the ocean. All right. Now, when you know the song, clap the beat or tap the beat on your table. Make it steady. And while doing that, sing the song while doing the beat. Can you do that? One and two and ready go. I've been to Harlem. I've been to Dover. I've traveled each wide world all over, over, over, three times over. Drink all the brandy wine and turn the glasses over. Sailing east. Sailing west. Sailing over the ocean. Better watch out. The boat begins to rock. Or you'll lose your girl in the ocean. Now, this time guys, get two cups. Make sure it's plastic. It's not unbreakable. And try to pass it on the beat. Switching one cup to another. Here we go. Make sure it is steady. And can you sing your song while doing this? Here we go. I've been to Harlem. I've been to Dover. I've traveled each wide world all over, over, over, three times over. Drink all the brandy wine and turn the glasses over. Sailing east. Sailing west. Sailing over the ocean. Better watch out. The boat begins to rock. Or you'll lose your girl in the ocean. And one, two, three, and go! I've been to Harlem. I've traveled each wide world all over, over, over, three times over. Drink all the brandy wine and turn the glasses over. Sailing east. Sailing west. Sailing over the ocean. Better watch out. The boat begins to rock. Or you'll lose your girl in the ocean. There you go. Let's clap the words of the song. Or let's clap the rhythm of the song. Always remember that when we clap the words of the song, we are clapping the rhythmic pattern. Or we're clapping, basically, the rhythm of the song. Let's do it. I've been to Harlem. I've traveled each wide world all over. Drink all the brandy wine and turn the glasses over. Sailing east. Sailing west. Sailing over the ocean. Better watch out. The boat begins to rock. Or you'll lose your girl in the ocean. Let's sing the song one more time and sing the song in our head while clapping the words or the rhythm. Here we go! You can identify a song by merely listening to the tune of the song or the melody of the song and also by listening to the rhythmic structure or the rhythm pattern of the song. The rhythm pattern of the song, like what we did a while ago for the turning glass over. Now, I have a song for you to need to identify. It's very, very easy. Listen to the song. Listen to the rhythm of the song. And I'm sure you know this. Here you go. What song is that? If your answer is, you're correct. What is it? Jingle Bell. Echo me. Clap after me. Echo! All right. Good job. This time, I'm going to add another rhythm variety or rhythmic variety. Okay. Echo! I added do. It's from do-ta-de-ta that you learned from year four. Do-ta-de-ta. Say do-ta-de-ta one more time. Do-ta-de-ta. Can you echo me? Do. Do-ta-de-ta-do. Do-ta-de-ta-do-ta-de-ta-do-de-do. Do-ta-de-ta-do. Do-ta-de-ta-do. Do-ta-de-ta-do-de-do-de-do. Let's synchronize the speaking and the clapping. Echo me. Do-ta-de-ta-do. Do-ta-de-ta-do. All right. It needs time to practice those syllables to be able for you to do it like your next skit. Okay. I'm going to add another one. Echo me. Do-ta-de-ta-do. Do-ta-de-ta-do. Let's practice that one. Do-ta-de-ta-do. Say it. Do-ta-de-ta-do. Do-ta-de-ta-do. All right. Repeat after me. Do-ta-de-ta-do. Do-ta-de-ta-do. Do-ta-de-ta-do. One more time. Do-ta-de-ta-do. Do-ta-de-ta-do. Clap and say the pattern after me. Do-ta-de-ta-do. Do-ta-de-ta-do. One more time. Do-ta-de-ta-do. Do-ta-de-ta-do. Did you get it right? It takes a lot of practice to be able for you to get used to that one. So if I were you, practice speaking and practice clapping the pattern or the rhythm. All right. This time, we're going back to the song that we previously learned, Turn the Glasses Over. But this time, we're not going to sing the words of the song. Instead, we are going to sing the rhythmic pattern of the song. Here we go. I'm going to be very, very slow. Here we go. Do-ta-de-ta-do. Do-ta-de-ta-do. The boat begins to rock. The shore girl in the ocean. One more time. Sing with me. Here we go. Do-ta-de-ta-do. Do-ta-de-ta-do. The shore girl in the ocean. Good job, guys. And this time, I'm going to leave you with this song. Please practice both the words and the rhythmic pattern of the song. Revise as well the speaking of the patterns. Do-ta-de-ta-do. Do-ta-de-ta-do. Until the next time.
