Solfège (French), or Solfeggio (Italian), is a music education method for teaching pitch, particularly the relationship of tones inside a musical scale. Scales are the ordered succession of musical tones (pitches) in a given key from which you can build melodies and harmonies.
There are several naming systems for identifying the sequence of scale tones (scale degrees): pitch frequency, alphabetical, and numbering systems, to name a few. Solfège is another naming system for identifying scale tones and is widely used to teach ear training and sight singing. The Solfège system assigns syllables to the notes of the scale, and this association of syllable to sound helps musicians mentally "hear" the sounds of the scale tones even before they have physically experienced the tone.
The Solfège used for the ascending major scale is Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So(l), La, and Ti (or Si). Depending on what school of thought you ascribe to, the Solfège system can be fixed to specific pitches or movable.
In FixedSolfège, syllables are permanently fixed (tied) to specific pitches:
C D E F G A B C
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
In Movable Solfège, syllables are relative and therefore "move" with the key you are working in:
C Major
A B C D E F G A BC D E F G A
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
G Major
A B C D E F G A B C D EF# G A
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
In 1959, Solfège was memorialized in popular culture by the "Do-Re-Mi" song from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, The Sound of Music.

∙ 12y agoSolfege syllables (as made famous to the general public by The Sound of Music) are as follows:
Do
Re
Mi
Fa
Sol
La
Si (Ti)
In "movable do" the syllables refer to scale degrees. Therefore, in a B Flat Major Scale (Bflat, C, D, Eflat, F, G, A, Bflat) Bflat would be considered "Do" since it is the first note in the scale....then C would be called Re, etc. In fixed solfege, C is ALWAYS Do. D is ALWAYS Re...etc.
