hand signals rather than a written form. Starts in the student aware of inton
ation of the notes and the relationship between them (intervals). fononimia pr
actice as such, must go hand in hand with the intonation of the sounds on, since
it allows the intuitive learning of the intervals and the relative name of the
notes
