without being bound by time or place.
Rooted in French music education,
MonLasol gives you the foundation
to grow your musicality — on your own terms.

The Meaning Behind
the Name

Solfège is a French word derived from
the syllables Sol and Fa
in the musical scale Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si Do
One step above Sol is La
one step above Fa is Sol.
Combine these with Mon, the French word
for “my,” and you get MonLasol
My own, one-step-higher Solfège —
MonLasol guides your music to the next level

Lesson Design That Builds Real Skill
