1. The fixed solfa method, that is, the solfa method in C major, means that no matter what key is sung (played) on the staff, the solfa in C major is always used. It is easy to read music, but difficult to master the pitch. In layman's terms:
The fixed solfa method is fixed and cannot be played in any key. Do is pronounced on all C notes and re on all D notes. Just sing by changing the height of the note according to the sharps and flats of the key.
For example, if the D scale uses a fixed key formula: 2 3 #4 5 6 7 #1
2. The first key solfa rule is based on "moving Do" Basically, this means that in the first-key solfa, the position and height of Do can move and change, but each mode level has a definite and unchanging solfa
The major mode The tonic (I-level sound) is sung as do, and the others are sung as re, mi, fa, sol, la, si in sequence. It sings the tonic (I-level sound) in the minor mode as la, and the others are sung in sequence as si, do, re. ,mi,fa,sol. In this way, only in C major and A minor, the corresponding relationship between roll calls and note names is the same, but other tones are different. For example, in the key of G major, sing G as do, A as re, B as mi... In G minor, G is sung as la, A is sung as si, B flat is sung as do...
Because of this singing method, the corresponding relationship between the roll call and the note name is not fixed. The corresponding relationship between each note is also not fixed. Each note name has different roll names in different keys. When you see a note (such as G) on the score, you must know what key it is. If it's F major, it has to be sung as re, if it's C minor, it has to be sung as mi... Every time you see a note, you have to go through "conversion" to sing its roll call, and then think about it. Because of its position on the piano, this singing method is generally not used when learning piano, but it is very convenient for sight-singing ear training and singing some simple songs, because this singing method is very direct for feeling the modal characteristics of the melody of the song.
Because the guitar is an instrument that usually has scale positions, rising or falling keys can be easily moved, which is also very suitable for this first-key notation reading method.
Extended information:
1. Fixed key
Advantages: strong sight-reading ability of staff, easier to play classical and jazz music, and more three-dimensional sense of music Good, it is easier to switch between different scales and chords when improvising.
Disadvantages: Troublesome in modulation, difficult to popularize, and difficult to develop a sense of melody.
2. First Tune
Advantages: Easy to get started, easy to change the key of the music, and easy to develop a sense of melody.
Disadvantages: Poor sight-reading of staffs, difficulty in cultivating a fixed pitch, music that modulates too frequently can easily become confusing, and complex scales and chords are more troublesome to respond to.
In fact, no matter which solfa method is used, the pitch sung is exactly the same (it’s true, it’s true), but the concept is different. Those who study vocal music can give priority to the first-key solfa method, while those who study musical instruments can give priority to learning the fixed solfa method. In the end, it is best to master both.
Proficiency in staff notation is inseparable from a lot of practice. Only when you use it in practice will you be able to adapt to changes. I will accompany you all the way. Teacher Meng Ling hopes that your music learning journey will go smoothly.
