What is movable do solfege?
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.
Which is better movable do or fixed do?
The Kodaly method uses Movable “Do”. Advantages to Fixed Do: Fixed “Do” can reinforce absolute pitch. ... By learning Fixed “Do”, they begin with “Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti” instead of “C, D, E, F, G, A, B”. This is more intuitive, and so it is easiest to learn in the beginning.
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.
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."
