In musical ear training, solfège is a technique for the teaching of sight-singing in which each note of the score is sung to a special syllable, called a solfège syllable. The seven syllables used for this practice in English-speaking countries are: do (or doh ), re, mi, fa, sol (so in tonic), la, and ti/si, which may be heard in "Do-Re-Mi" from Rodgers and Hammerstein's score for The Sound of Music.
Learning solfege in singing very naturally leads to recognizing musical intervals in music notation, in an easy and organic way. The beginning of “Here Comes the Bride” is a fourth, and is sung in solfege as do fa, fa, fa in your major 5-finger position on the piano. This method leads to lifelong musical literacy and learning when singing or playing a musical instrument. Thank you, Wikipedia, for the skeleton of this post.
