What are "solfège syllables"?

Solfège syllables refer specifically to a method of teaching pitch and sight singing using the syllables Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, and Ti. This system is widely used in music education to help students understand musical scales and develop their ability to identify and sing pitches accurately. Each syllable corresponds to a specific degree of the major scale, facilitating ear training, tonal recognition, and vocal development.

Using this method not only aids in memorization of pitch intervals but also enhances the ability to read music notation, as students can connect the sounds they produce with the corresponding written notes. The familiarity of these syllables supports musicians in various genres and is foundational in choral singing, music theory, and general music education.
