"Hi! My name is Cass Naumann and on behalf of expertvillage.com I am here to talk to you about solfege. Solfege has eight syllables and we use them to help practice the notes on the scale. The first one is do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do and then they come back down along the scale from do, ti, la, so, fa, mi, re and do. Each of them correspond to the notes in the scale. You can also learn them as numbers so its one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and one both being the tonic and down seven, six, five, four, three, two and one. And there are two concepts of solfege. There is a fixed do, so do is always on C or there is movable do, so each do is going be the tonic of your scale so if you move keys to G the new G would now be do."

on 8/2/2008 Good series in terms of technique, but you might wanna brush up on your theory. In the Key of G: G (Do) - A (Re) - B (Mi) - C (Fa) - D (So) - E (La) - F# (Ti) - G (Do).
