Chapter I. Rhythm
Chapter II
Major Keys
II-1
Introduction to Solfeggio
The following syllables are traditionally used for the seven notes of the major scale.
do
<
ti
<
la
<
so
<
fa
<
mi
<
re
<
do
<
They originate from the Latin hymn Ut Queant Laxis, in which the first word of each successive mu-
sical phrase began on the next note of the scale.
This book uses the movable do system. In this system, ‘do’ is always the tonic, and the other syllables
are assigned to the other notes according to their role in the key. In the key of D, for example:
//
do
<
ti
<
la
<
so
<
fa
<
mi
<
re
<
do
<

This may seem confusing at first, but it’s the only system that makes sense to the ear. For instance,
‘ti’ is always a note with a tendency to move up a half-step to ‘do,’ the tonic. (There is also a fixed do
system, in which ‘do’ is always C, ‘re’ is always D, and so on. The fixed do system is often taught to
European schoolchildren, who don’t know enough music theory to recognize the roles of the different
notes in relation to the tonic in a key that has sharps or flats.)
Sight singing is first and foremost a method of training your brain to understand relationships between
musical notes, and is therefore an important component of musicianship even if you consider yourself
primarily a composer or instrumentalist rather than a singer. For example, a jazz musician improvis-
ing a solo on the saxophone needs to be able to imagine a melody, and understand the relationship
between the imagined pitches so as to be able to translate them into fingerings. The solfeggio syllables
are a device for making the recognition of the relationships automatic.
Broadly speaking, there are two main approaches to learning solfeggio singing. One can learn to sing
intervals, or to sing each note according to its role in the key. That is, we can hear each note in relation
to the preceding note, or in relation to the tonic. Suppose, for example, that we’re singing a piece of
music in the key of C major, and having just sung B, which is ‘ti,’ we see that the next note in the
melody is C, which is ‘do.’ In the first approach, we recognize this as the interval of a half-step (minor
second), so we move to the note a half-step above the one we’ve just sung. In the second technique,
we know how to sing ‘do’ because of its special sound in relation to the key: it’s the tonic, the note
that sounds like it would be a good one to end the song on. In reality, one doesn’t use either technique
exclusively. We might as well ask Shakespeare what he does when he reads words: ‘Mr. Shakespeare,
do you use phonics, or do you recognize whole words?’ A fluent reader is actually decoding patterns
at a subconscious level, and the process is extremely rapid because most of the patterns are familiar.
Because the goal is rapid recognition of patterns at a subconscious level, one should not expect to
become a fluent sight singer by artificial devices. For instance, many people learn to recognize the
interval of a major sixth using a tune such as ‘My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean’ or the NBC jingle.
This is a good thing to learn, just as it’s good to learn that an E at the end of a word makes the
preceding vowel long. But a fluent reader doesn’t look at the word ‘sure’ and think ‘silent E makes
the U long.’ Learning the phonics rules is necessary, but having learned them, we actually become
fluent readers through the act of reading large amounts of English.
There is also a pitfall to this technique of learning to hear intervals via a personalized list of familiar
melodies. The leap of a major sixth in ‘My Bonnie’ is a leap from ‘so’ up to ’mi,’ but your brain will
probably refuse to recognize the leap from ‘re’ to ‘ti’ as being the same thing, because ‘re’ and ‘ti’
play different roles in the key than ‘so’ and ‘mi.’ Some people learn two melodies, one for ‘so-mi’ and
one for ‘re-ti.’ Some might even do another two for the downward leaps ‘mi-so’ and ‘ti-re!’ This just
shows that the technique is artificial and not usually very useful.

Melodies Containing Only Steps
In each example, start by identifying which line or space on the staff represents ‘do,’ the tonic. If
you have an instrument at hand, play the tonic, and then sing enough notes from the tonic chord
to bracket the range of the melody, e.g., ‘do mi so do’ for the octave spanned by the first example.
If an instrument is not available, pick a note for ‘do’ that will put the melody in the most comfort-
able part of your vocal range. Locate the notes of the tonic chord on the staff to use as reference points.

The following example is in a new key: its ‘do’ is the former ‘so.’ If you have trouble convincing your
brain to switch keys, try singing ‘do re mi fa so’ in the old key, then repeating the last note as ‘do,’
and finally singing ‘do ti do’ — with authority!

We now begin moving around the circle of fifths in the opposite direction. ‘Ti’ in the previous key
is flattened, and becomes ‘fa’ of the new key. If you’re singing the new, flattened version of the note
correctly, you should be able to hear its strong tendency to resolve down to ‘mi.’

Minor Keys
III-1
Solfeggio in the Minor Mode
Some people sing in the minor mode using these solfeggio syllables:
333
do
<
re
<
me
<
fa
<
so
<
3
le
<
3
te
<
do
<
do
<
2
ti
<
2
la
<
so
<
fa
<
me
<
re
<
do
<
333
This system has the advantage that most of the notes have the same functions as in the major mode.
‘Do’ is still the tonic, ‘so’ the dominant, ‘ti’ the leading tone, and so on. In this system, the names of
the notes stay the same when switching between the parallel major and minor.
Others prefer this:
333
la
<
ti
<
do
<
re
<
mi
<
3
fa
<
3
so
<
la
<
la
<
2
si
<
2
fi
<
me
<
re
<
do
<
ti
<
la
<
333
This system highlights the relationship between the minor and its relative major.
If you don’t have a teacher who wants you to use one system or another, I suggest you use the first
one, because it lets you recycle many of the patterns you’ve learned in minor. For instance, ‘so-ti-do’
is still a formula for a cadence.
In both systems, the vowel ‘i’ is used for a sharpened note, and ‘e’ for a flattened one. The chromatic
scale looks like this:
do
<
ti
<
/
li
<
la
<
/
si
<
so
<
/
fi
<
fa
<
mi
<
/
ri
<
re
<
/
di
<
do
<
so
3
le
<
2
la
<
3
te
<
ti
<
do
<

do
<
3
ra
<
2
re
<
3
me
<
mi
<
2
fa
<
3
se
<
2<
The important thing is to pick a system and learn it thoroughly. (I use my own enharmonic system
in which the chromatic scale is ‘do gu ri bu mi fa ka so ja la pa ti do.’)

The next three use leaps of a diminished fourth, an interval which sounds like a major third, and is
typical of minor keys.

More commonly, the melody leaps into or out of ‘la’ without spelling out the subdominant chord
explicitly. Although dominant harmony can often be implied strongly with only one or two notes, this
is not usually true of the subdominant, because of its weaker character. Since thirds are the most
common leaps, the most important new leaps to learn to sing are the ones between ‘do’ and ‘la’ and
between ‘fa’ and ‘la.’ This melody leaps from ‘do’ to ‘la:’

A great deal of Scottish folk music uses a major scale that omits ‘ti.’ ‘Fa’ is sometimes left out as
well, forming a five-note, or pentatonic, scale. Once one’s ear adjusts to the sound of the scale, the
characteristic leap between ‘do’ and ‘la’ no longer sounds like a leap at all. Of the following two
examples, the first is pentatonic, while the second uses the full major scale. The first example has
been notated with the style’s typical elaborate ornamentation, which you may wish to ignore.

IV-4. Leaps Within the Subdominant, Minor Keys
79
IV-5
Leaps of a Seventh
With leaps of a seventh, as with any very broad leap, the most common problem is simply the
inability to reach the note. Make sure to sing each example in an appropriate key. If the leap of a
seventh is upward, find the lowest key in which you can comfortably sing the lowest note of the melody.
A factor in the sight-singer’s favor is that the most difficult leaps to sing are usually the ones that
are ugly as well, and therefore composers don’t write them; in real music, most leaps of a seventh
occur in certain special contexts that make them both easier to sing and more acceptable to the ear.
Although it is possible to memorize the sounds of the minor and major seventh leaps and sing them
on demand, that’s a fundamentally unnatural way to think about melody; keep in mind that most of
the examples in this section are folk songs created by people who were illiterate, and probably could
not have performed such a trick themselves.
Another technique for use when all else fails is to imagine the seventh as a downward step, with the
second note moved up an octave. In all the following examples, however, we’ll see that there are better
solutions arising naturally from the logic of the melodic line.
The first example is easy, because the leap begins a repetition.

In the next tune, the leap upward from ‘ti’ to ‘la’ is heard as the inversion of the earlier step down
from ‘ti’ to ‘la.’

The next example has a leap of a seventh as part of a dominant seventh chord. It resolves downward
to ‘mi,’ and this ‘fa-mi’ relationship is one of the most prominent landmarks of the key, so you may
find that the easiest way to hit the ‘fa’ is simply by locating ‘fa-mi.’

This tune, like the preceding one, uses the familiar ‘so-fa-mi’ pattern. The leap is also made easier
because we’ve just sung ‘fa’ in the low register, and because, looking ahead, we anticipate the de-
scending scale ‘fa-mi-re-do.’

Another ‘so-fa-mi’ example. The ‘fa’ is heard as part of a logical progression of prominent high points
in the line.

Other Perfect Fourths and Fifths
We’ve already sung leaps of a fourth and a fifth within the tonic, dominant, and subdominant chords,
and those leaps strongly implied their chords. For instance, it’s difficult to hear the ‘so-re’ leap without
perceiving a dominant chord. Although other leaps of a fourth or a fifth may imply other triads, in
real music they are more commonly produced not by the harmony but by the logic of the melody
itself. In the first example, the composer simply wants to repeat a molodic idea at a different pitch.
The ‘la’ is easily sung by thinking of it in relation to the ‘do’ it leads up to.

In this example, the leap from ‘la’ to ‘re’ is heard as an imitation of the preceding ‘so-do’ leap.

Here, we really have the easy ‘so-mi’ leap, but with ‘la’ interposed.

Chapter VI
The C Clef
This chapter recapitulates some melodies from earlier chapters, using the C clef. The clef indicates
middle C. In modern music, the C clef is used almost exclusively for the viola, but it will also be
encountered in older scores, both vocal and instrumental, as an equally important companion to the
treble and bass clefs. The C clef is a movable clef, but the examples in this chapter are all given with
C placed at the middle line. Sight-singing from the C clef is not difficult, because one merely follows
the usual procedure of determining which line or space on the staff represents ‘do,’ and reading all
other notes relative to it. A trick for instrumentalists is to imagine that the middle line is really the
ledger line for middle C on the grand staff, while the top two lines belong to the treble clef, and the
bottom two to the bass clef. (The same trick can be handy for vocalists when using the key signature
to find the tonic on the staff.)
