Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended audience: Everyone - musical and non-musical - especially prospective parents. The solfege methodology taught at The French School of Music in Plainfield, NJ over a 90 year period is a surprisingly approachable system for understanding music involving singing on-pitch, sightreading, conducting time, ear training, and music dictation. The combination of solfege lessons and efficient piano practice methods empowered many French School alumni from around the 1970s to perform in Carnegie Recital Hall as children, attend conservatories, develop a lifelong love for music, and have successful music careers. Many alumni excelled in non-music related careers as well because these methods enabled students to develop a deep understanding of what constitutes excellence. If this was just about learning solfege, this book wouldn't be needed. This is also a metaphor about life - about learning how to learn, identify and solve problems, be efficient, become a leader and influencer, and coach future generations to do the same.
