What are sharps and flats in solfege?
When we raise solfege notes (sharps), we change the vowel sound to “ee.” When we lower solfege notes (flats), we change the vowel sound to “ae” or “ah.”
What is the solfege for sharps?
In moveable-do solfège, the usual practice is to indicate sharps with an -i vowel and flats with an -e or -a vowel. For example, a sharp do becomes di, flat sol becomes se, and flat re becomes ra.
How do you find solfege with sharps?
When the key signature is made up of sharps, you can find “do” by locating the sharp furthest to the right. From that sharp, go up to the next line or space – that next line or space will be the name of “do” as well as the name of the key.
