![]() ![]() The rules are clear and consistent, and there are no exceptions. If you have learned only traditional method, or you want to switch from other systems to this one, you would need a short period of time to get used to the vowels and soon it will become intuitive enough that you won't even bother to pronounce "sharp" "double sharp" "flat" "double flat" "diesis" "doppio diesis" "bemolle" "doppio bemolle" anymore. It's actually quite easy for beginners who have no interference from old memories. And since solfège is an oral activity, you don't really have to worry about how to type the relatively rare characters. The selected vowels can be easily pronounced by most people in the world, others just need several minutes of practice. In the same note, higher the accidental, more front and closed the pronunciation. Selected vowels are related to tongue and lips position. As fixed Do solfège it's also much easier than then the CDEFGAB solfège. All syllables are composed by just one vowel and one consonant except the Sol line, however if you use Ti instead of Si, you could of course ditch all the L of the Sol line to make it easier to pronounce, since you do not need to worry about the duplication of the S prefix between Sol and Si.īecause it's based on Italian note names, it can definitely be used as or completely replace the current movable Do solfège. It can easily be used in all Si and Ti countries. Italian names are preserved so you don't need to change your habits, and their vowels are not used by any accidental syllables. Objectives when I design my own solfège system See Wikipedia English - Solfège chromatic variants.Ĥ. Because it cuts the L from Sol, it cannot be directly used in countries that use Si not Ti.Įither too many consonants are used, or not being consistent on the rules, or the original Italian names are modified. Exceptions create complication and confusion, like this passage Di Ri Mi Fi Si Li Ti Di you hear all the vowel but there are actually two nature notes.ģ. It breaks its own rule that " on sharp, on double sharp, on flat."Ģ. Mi sharp is and Ti sharp is, and there are no Mi and Ti double sharps, I know they are rarely used, but still Re flat is. The Shearer fixed Do system derived from the 5 sharps 5 flats systemġ. Obviously, the traditional method can be improved, and I guess that's why other systems exist.Ī movable do system mostly used for choir training in English speaking countries, but for instrumental usage it just lacks several half tones and all double accidentals. For example, some saxophone students always memorize A♭ as G♯, D♯ as E♭, even though composers wrote A♭ and D♯ for good reasons, thus misunderstandings of a piece are born. ![]() This sometimes cause students, even students with higher technique level, to think about the wrong note while playing even though the fingering is correct. Traditional Italian solfeggio cantato (solfège with pitch)ĥ different pitches share the same syllable, so readers have to think about the pitches separately. Especially when doing it in Italian with all the flutter tonguing and multisyllabic "diesis" and "bemolle" (sharp and flat). Traditional Italian solfeggio parlato (solfège without pitch)Įither no difference at all for the accidentals, or just too much like a tongue-twister to keep it in rhythm.
