System for naming the notes in the scale(s) Each note gets a solfege syllable “Do” corresponds to the key note of the scale Where did solfege come from? 11th century monk and music theorist Guido of Arezzo Guido invented this system in order to teach sight singing and help monks remember the pattern of whole steps and half steps in an octave Syllables came from a well-known Latin hymn, Ut queant laxis Original syllables were ut, re, mi, fa, sol, la Guidonian Hand Followers of Guido were taught a pedagogical aid to help them sing intervals accurately Pupils were taught to sing intervals as the teacher pointed to the locations on the left hand Modern Solfege Used primarily in music education as a method for teaching sight singing and interval relationships Further developed by Hungarian composer Zoltan Kodaly and his follower John Curwen, who brought us the modern hand signs
