Hi folks,<\/p>\n
In this post I’ll talk about Tonic Sol-fa.<\/p>\n
Tonic sol-fa is a tool for teaching sight singing, invented boy Sarah Ann Glover.<\/p>\n
It is based on movable do solf\u00e8ge.<\/p>\n
You use it to learn the notes of the major scale, which is one of the most commonly used music scales, especially in Western music.<\/p>\n
There are 7 notes in the major scale in the key of C. C major scale is the easiet scale to learn because it has all white keys.<\/p>\n
The notes of the C major scale are C D E F G A and B.<\/p>\n
The names we give to these keys in tonic sol-fa are:<\/p>\n
do re mi fa sol la and ti<\/p>\n
or in shorter form we call them:<\/p>\n
d r m f s l t<\/p>\n
To remember these you can use the song Do-Re-mi<\/p>\n
It goes as follows:<\/p>\n
Doe – a dear, a female dear (do)
\nRay – a drop of golden sun (re)
\nMe – a name I call myself (mi)
\nFar – a long long way to run (fa)
\nSew – a needle pulling thread (sol)
\nLa – a note to follow so (la)
\nTea – a drink with jam and bread (ti)
\nand that brings us back to to Doe.<\/p>\n
