What Is Solfege?
Transcribe Music
Solfege works wonders for transcribing music
(writing down what you hear) – whether it’s
your favorite jazz solo or the music you’re
hearing in your head.

Example Tune
Do-Based Minor
This type of solfege allows us to adjust
solfege syllables to "t a minor key. In this
method, “do” still represents the tonic of the
minor key. The lowered 3rd, 6th, and 7th
scale degrees are represented by the
syllables “me”, “le”, and “te”, respectively,
rather than with the usual “mi”, “la”, and “ti”
found in major keys:
La-Based Minor
Even more good news: for those who prefer
to stick with the seven original solfege
syllables and don’t want to add confusion
through the inclusion of even more syllables,
there is a way of representing minor scales
without having to learn additional syllables.
