A challenging circle game for Grades 4–6 that teaches fa in solfège. The fast-paced concentration format keeps upper elementary students fully engaged.
About this song
Concentration Doodly Wah is a circle game suitable for Grades 4, 5, and 6. The concentration-style format — where students must focus, remember, and react quickly — makes it ideal for upper elementary students who are ready for a more cognitively demanding musical activity.
The song teaches fa in solfège, one of the more challenging pitches in the hexatonic and major scale context. The active, fast-paced nature of the game makes the pitch learning feel natural and incidental.
The full teaching demonstration is available inside a Singing Classroom subscription.

The real problem
Every teacher knows this feeling. You find a song, try it on Monday, and something goes sideways — the kids don't engage, you're not sure how to introduce it, the lesson loses momentum. It's not that the song was wrong. You just didn't have a clear picture of how it actually goes.
That's what makes The Singing Classroom different. Every song in the library — including this one — has a full video of Deborah teaching it with real students. You don't have to guess how to introduce it, how to structure the activity, or how to handle the tricky moments. You watch it. Then you teach it.
150+ songs. Every one demonstrated. No more hoping it works — you already know it will.
