Ear Training - Chromatic Solfege

hi everyone I'm Rick Beato one of the most important things that you can do as a musician is develop your ear it'll help you in everything if you're a jazz musician if you're a rock producer if you're a classical musician you have to have a great ear today's episode is called chromatic hybrid solfege we're gonna learn about how to site sing it's coming up next [Music] so solfege is a method used to teach pitch or ear training and sight singing now there are two different types of solfege there's fixed doe and then there's moveable doe we're gonna start with fixed doe I personally never studied solfege in college because the college's I went to didn't teach it there was a movement away from solfege at the time I was going to school and then it's come back into vogue in the last probably 15 years or so 20 years something like that but I never learned it originally but the concept is pretty simple so in fixed doe doe is always seen so we've got C's DoDEA's Rae is me F is 5g is Seoul a is la B is C so dole ramie faso Lucido that's how the scale goes in fixed dough for chromatic notes they work like this C sharp is dough sharp or D flat is Rea flat so if it's a C sharp you use dough and then you have the sharp to it or D flat you say R a flat d sharp is Ray sharp or E flat is me flat if you were to do e sharp you'd say me sharp and F flat would be fall at and so on and so forth now one of the problems with fixed dough that I see is that each syllable really should have its own name that would make singing faster lines easier than saying no sharp because you're essentially using two words to say that whereas you may as well just say C sharp what I like to do is use fixed dough but use the chromatic solfege syllables from movable dough next we have movable dough in moveable dough dough is reassigned to the tonic of the key so I put up the key of F major here so in this case dough would be the note F because it's a tonic note G is Ray a is me B flat is 5c his soul D is law now here's a change e is t okay instead of C and fixed oh we use C syllable and movable though we use T so don't worry me facility doe so I like to use a hybrid of fixed and moveable doe where it uses C is dough with the syllables of movable dough so to get these syllables of the sharp pitches you add the suffix E which is the letter I to the first letter of the syllable being sharp for example C sharp is d so you got dough dear a readme file fee soul C lolly T and then back to doe doe dear a readme file fee so C lolly Tito ok the syllables for flatted pitches worked like this you add the suffix a which is actually the letter e after the first letter of the syllable being flatted okay so dote eat a la la Sol save me mae rhai raah no rod D flat is the only one that's different because we actually have the Ray right there on D so we have to adjust that one so it goes like this singing of descending Doty tail of a soul safe ami mae rhai righto so if we take a particular syllable like la la Li la la so I'm doing a a sharp a a flat and then go to Dean remember Dean has rod Ray rear a raah that's how it works you simply memorize these in practice no I'm just joking there's a little luck alert to do on this the next thing to do is practice it around the circle of fist like this doe sol la me T fee made a photo the best way to practice is start on middle C at the piano or your guitar go a sending and descending and work on the solfege syllables just getting them down so you're just gonna start here then descend [Music] after you've practice that over the course of a week you'll really start to get fluid with these solfege syllables and then eventually when the ear training course comes out we'll start getting into things like modes and you'll start with your modes you might do C Lydian the Sufi me and then go to the circle of fifths the soul rail ami T and so on so forth that's all for now please subscribe to my everything music YouTube channel if you're interested in the Beato book you can go to my website at wwlp.com and find it there thanks for watching
