Zoltan Kodaly of Hungary championed the system in more modern times, building on Curwen’s work. He introduced a set of hand signals which correspond to each solfege syllable.

WHY is Diction Important?
When the listener hears a song, the words and music create an image, feeling or emotion to which they can relate. When the song is heard repeatedly this creates familiarity and the listener starts to understand the sentiments further, picking up words, even non-sensical ones that encourage participation.
Timing is an important part of singing. Learning to count the beats, using musical notation and sight reading are all part of the process and will help you to improve your performance. This classes aims to provide some basics on timing, rhythm and the art of using your ears!!!
All music is counted in beats and bars. Each beat is a count and always begins on the first note played, which incidentally is the most pronounced beat.
RHYTHM refers to the way in which sounds of varying length and accentuation are grouped into patterns. If you listen to a song the tune itself could not be played on a table but it's rhythm could be tapped out on one. If you tapped faster or slower the rhythm does not change - only the tempo. You can identify the rhythm by listening to where the accents are placed. Played notes, words, phrases or drum hits are loud, short, long or soft, these are repeated in a measured flow and these are what make up the 'rhythm' of the song or musical piece.
