solfège
Do-re-mi system
Solfège is a system for teaching music by assigning syllables to notes of a scale—do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti.
Students learn to sight-read and develop pitch recognition by singing these syllables rather than note names.
The term comes from French and refers both to the method and to exercises using it: She practiced her solfège before the audition.
