\nIn other parts of the world, the scale is accompanied with a sound syllable for every note (aka – “solfeggio”.) For example, in the C major scale:
\n<\/p>\n
C is do<\/strong><\/p>\nD is re<\/strong><\/p>\nE is mi<\/strong><\/p>\nF is fa<\/strong><\/p>\nG is sol<\/strong><\/p>\nA is la<\/strong><\/p>\nB is ti<\/strong><\/p>\nC is do<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nIf you’ve been around musicians in certain parts of the world, chances are there that you must have sang the syllables below:<\/p>\n
