Solfege continued
- 1. Solfége – The Next Level Here we will dive a little deeper into the application of Solfége with practice at finding Do and practical examples.
- 2. Moveable Do D C# Moveable Do bases the initial Do on the root of the key (regardless of the key). For example, if we started in the key of D, the following diagram would be the relationship of the hand-signs to the key signature. B A G F# E D
- 3. Finding Do ● ● Since we use Movable Do, all one needs to do to Solfége a piece is to determine what line or space is indicated by Do We use the 4 rules of determining the Key to find Do
- 4. Memorize these Two Keys ● C Major (no sharps or flats) Do ● F Major (one flat B♭) Do
- 5. Two Tricks All other key signatures can be determined by two simple rules ● ● Rule for Sharps: It's the note above the last sharp of the key signature. Rule for Flats: It's the second to last flat
- 6. Testing Yourself ● ● The Following Slides will walk you through all the sharps and flats. Each progressive slide will show you where Do is on a Treble Clef. ● Try to determine where you think the Do is before advancing to the next slide.
- 7. Sharps
- 8. Sharps Do Do
- 16. Flats
- 17. Flats Do Do
- 25. Practical Application ● In practice, you do not need to write down all the solfége ● Start by finding Do and then determine the Sol ● Begin at the beginning and mark key pitches – Starting Notes – Leaps larger than a third – Key pitches on long runs – Other challenging sections to sing
