Modality instruction as well   It is worth noting that give or take a few details the song also introduces an idea of musical modes  I actually hate this song with a passion because I find it unbelievably trite but it does have the interesting aspect that each phrase introducing a different solfege note with a charitable eye demonstrates a different musical mode  Thus Me a name I call myself arguably is in phrygian mode for example  What is also interesting is that Rogers and Hammerstein addressed the issue of musical tension between locrian mode starting at Ti and the root of the scale at Do with the lyrics  which will bring us back to Do  Granted as some people have observed above its not purely a white note song but the teaching principle is definitely there and music teachers might exploit it to expose elements of theory
