How to Sight Sing Using Solfege

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Ashley on behalf of Expert Village and I'm going to talk to you today about sight singing. Using solfege when singing various intervals this is when it is a good idea to use solfege. Also when singing solfege you are actually replacing a letter name with the solfege. C with Do, D with Re, E Mi, F Fa, G Sol, A La and B Ti, the first note of a major scale in this case the C scale is the tonic. You will sing Do instead of C of the purpose of using solfege as a sight singing technique. Then instead of singing the next note D we will replace it with Re, up the scale now singing the solfege to syllables instead of the actual note names. C D E G H A B C, now I'm going to replace the actual note names with the solfege syllables, Do Re Fa Sol La Ti Do. The reason to sing with syllables instead of the notes is to sing correct intervals while reading in any key and not just in the key of C."
