Once upon a time, there was a little note sitting alone on a line. There really
wasn’t much excitement in the note’s life, no one to talk and no one to play
with. This is why we shall call him SOLO. “What a boring place,” Solo sighed.
“It’s too quiet around here and there’s nothing to do”.
While Solo was sitting on his line, a fairy appeared.
“Hi, Solo, why so glum?” the fairy asked.
“Oh well,” Solo replied, “do you know that you are the first person I’ve
seen and talked to in ages? I just feel so alone. I wish life would be more
exciting.”
“Say no more,” the fairy said. “Your wish will soon come true. I feel extra
nice today, So, I’ll treat you to a pleasant syrprise.”
The fairy waved her hand. In an instant, Solo and the fairy were
transported to a village.
“Welcome to the village of Note-Re Dame!” the fairy exclaimed.
“This place sure looks lovely,” Solo said. “You’ll be meeting a lot of other
notes like you. Enjoy yourself. But remember, you must try to get along with
the other notes. You may find out it’s not so easy living with others.” With
these words, the fairy vanished.
Solo couldn’t quite understand the fairy’s parting words. Nevertheless, he
shrugged it off. He was more excited about meeting the other village notes.
Solo saw other notes playing. They were putting up some bars. Each of
them made different sounds, he noticed. Solo came to them to offered his help.
“Thanks.” the note with a big voice said. “I am DO, and who you are?”
“My name is Solo and I’m pleased to meet you.”
“I’d like to you meet my other friends, too. These are RE,MI, FA, LA, TI.
Friends, meet Solo.” Do said. “How about calling him Sol for short?”
Now, Sol was happy. He had friends. He felt he belonged to a group.
Soon, he joined them in their work and play.
The following months were the happiest for Sol. After a long a while,
something happened. All notes started to fight. Each note wanted his own
sound and pitch to be heard. And they argued a lot!.There was no harmony
aamong themselves. All they made was noise! Noise! And more noise!
One day, a stranger walked into the village. He was so tired. He decided
to sit under a big tree. But after a while, he became so upset. The notes were
making a lot of noise.
“Some rest I can get!” he angrily grumbled to himself.
Then the stranger could no longer stand the noise. He approached the
littles notes.
“Listen,” he said. “Do you realize that for the past hour, all you’ve been
doing creating noise?”
“What about it?” Mi retorted. “And who are you anyway?”
“my name is Johann Sebastian Bach. I say , you fellows may have a good
thing going if you stop all that noise. Make music instead.”
“Music? What is that?” the notes asked.
“Well, music is making sounds thatbare pleasant to hear,” Johann said.
“In music, each note contributes his part to come up with a melody thatbhas
harmony.”
“Harmony?” The notes again looked puzzled.
“Yes, in harmony all the notes get along with one another,” Johann said.”
Here, let me show you.”

Johann took all the notes by hand and arranged them in a sequence. He
asked them to sound off their pitch when he told them to.
