In a piece in G major (with F-sharp in the key signature) with movable-do, the notes: G, A, B, C, D, E, F#, G would be: do, re, mi fa so, la, ti, do! This is true for all keys. “Do” is the tonic (first note) of whatever key you are in. So, for example, if you had 5 flats in the key signature, D-flat would be “do”!

What is moveable do?
[English] Do is the first scale degree in solmization (do, re, mi). A movable do means the pitch is always the same as the first scale degree of the tonal center of the composition. This is in contrast to a fixed do, meaning do always represents the pitch "C."
What are the two key signature having moveable do?
There are two different systems in use for adapting Movable “Do” for minor keys. They are the La-based minor (the relative minor, which is the minor key with the same key signature as the major key. A minor is relative to C major, with no sharps or flats), and the altered syllable system, as pictured below.
What is the movable do system?
The movable do system is a fundamental element of the Kodály method used primarily in Hungary, but with a dedicated following worldwide. In the movable do system, each solfège syllable corresponds not to a pitch, but to a scale degree: The first degree of a major scale is always sung as "do", the second as "re", etc.
What are the 7 Solfège syllables?
A major or a minor scale (the most common scales in Western classical music) has seven notes, and so the solfege system has seven basic syllables: do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, and ti. In other octaves – for example, an octave above or below – the solfege syllables stay the same.
