I have been using the Monachino for years, I would like to know if there are new texts that are more engaging and more interactive. Thank you

Solfeggio in general is a very broad field that can include various disciplines. Do you mean only note reading or something else? Like ear training, singing, etc.?

I suggest you pair Goitre with: "Cantar leggendo". It contains rhythmic exercises; the sung parts can be used for note reading or as dictations; furthermore, many are written in polyphony and polymeter (obviously, elementary)... so you can divide the class into several groups and have them work in "sections."

Dimenticavo, la logica è quella del do mobile, ma puoi anche evitare di passarci usandoli come sono scritti.

Replying to Lestofante: reading is important but I would also like to make them sing, simple pieces even in two voices and being able to do rhythmic "games" by dividing the kids into groups

Hi Stellina, what do you mean by "cutting the course"? If you are referring to the level I can reach during the three-year period, I tell you that it is very relative. Keep in mind that with only one hour of lesson per week, not much can be achieved; moreover, in the periods closest to events, both Christmas and the end of the school year, the theory and solfeggio lesson is even cancelled to give more space to ensemble music. We have orchestra and choir, so rehearsals take up quite a lot of time... anyway, the kids undoubtedly learn to read in both clefs, they practice singing, and I also have them do rhythmic and melodic dictations.

If you are a pianist, you can get Desidery, G., Rhythmic and melodic solfeggi. Singing branch. I particularly recommend it for singers, as they have a simple accompaniment and are based on very singable melodies. In reality, there is also one with notation, with chords that can easily become "pop-style". So it seems like a good compromise to me. You could take a look at it
