Solfege

Solfege was invented by the monk Guido of Arezzo as a way to help his fellow monks learn their music.
Solfege asigns a syllable to each pitch of a scale. We will be using what's called "moveable do," in that the first
pitch of each scale is always "do." Below is the scale written out in two differnt keys to exemplify this.

C Major

do re mi fa sol la ti do

F Major

do re mi fa sol la ti do
