@tmtwd this is vey useful to me because in chorus class for my midturm we have to do solfege #1 which is ealy but i just learned it today and mow i got it in my mind! thanks for this video
actually he's plays in Db instead of Ab.. but I think the video alright... where is your video?,,, at least he is trying to help out... He is a little wordy, but I understand his point about reconizing a starting pitch of a song by connecting it with a solfege or number interval.
At first I realised my el. toothbrush emited a C-note sound and I eventualy starteg goofing around and mumble songs during brushing. Trought time i started recognizing C-tone in songs and other stuf (not just music). then I tried to memorise other notes in similar way... once you know notes by ear, reading sheet isn't a problem.
Tim-I'm just saying your explanation makes no sense, and neither does your rebuttal. You mention how this will help you sight read, reading music requires written music. If you are just singing by ear- then you don't need music and you don't need solfege either. Learning by ear is fine-reading music combined with a good ear is even better especially if you are a choral singer. I have a fairly good grasp of music and your explanations are illogical and confusing.
To get technical, I have used solfege primarily to assist my ability to listen to a song and then figure out how each note of the melody fits into the sequence of a scale. I find that knowing that the melody of the son starts on the fifth note of the scale (ie. Sol), and which degree all the rest of the notes of the melody are is very useful.
Many months after I made this video, I was able to figure out which chords made up a song by identifying which degrees the harmonizing notes were. I find that also very useful.
Then after learning that my ears can now pick out melodic and harmonic patterns more easily.
Then it becomes easier to sight-sing from standard notation, if someone is in a choir that is a useful skill. Standard notation can be fun too, and forces a discipline to musical theory.
I believe standard notation to be the most expressive of notation, but also the most inaccessible. I myself find chords to be easier to read than standard notation, even though I have been reading standard notation for longer than I have brushed my teeth without complaining.
Anyways, there is lots to reflect on, I think about this stuff lots, and I think if you really want to emphasize the 8-note scale and such, solfege has more immediate uses than standard notation.
i hope no one is trying to learn solfege from this. first off, this dude states he's in Ab major, then he's in Eb major. secondly, you really need to have sheet music to illustrate this to make any sense about what he's saying. so, basically this only works if you hear a song that sounds like mary had a little gram.
I like that joke, but you have to realize this is my first video ever made and it is a difficult subject to articulate well, like I said, I have never seen this specifically before, not anywhere, and I think it is valuable information.
Also, to me, one of the advantages of solfege is that sheet music is not necessary, and I value learning music by listening and playing rather than by reading sheet music. I find sheet music to be a little funny. I suspect that until recent times it
I'm just curious about your piano. The high notes are to the left, but on mine they are to the right :-)

Yeah, I think that is just the video. On that keyboard, the high notes are to the left.

Confusing, but not illogical.
Solfege is an unessential tool. I find it useful.
To get technical, I have used solfege primarily to assist my ability to listen to a song and then figure out how each note of the melody fits into the sequence of a scale. I find that knowing that the melody of the son starts on the fifth note of the scale (ie. Sol), and which degree all the rest of the notes of the melody are is very useful.

Respond to this video... has never been prevalent in non-elite musical circles. Most music, I daresay, is not created straight to notation.
