Editing Solfège (section)

==Modern use==
Solfège is still used for sight reading training. There are two main types: ''Movable do'' and ''Fixed do''.

===Movable do solfège===
In ''Movable do''<ref>{{Cite web|date=2 October 2012|title=Movable "Do" vs Fixed "Do"|url=https://www.teaching-children-music.com/2012/10/movable-do-vs-fixed-do/|access-date=18 September 2020|website=Teaching Children Music|language=en-US}}</ref> or ''tonic sol-fa'', each syllable corresponds to a [[scale degree]]; for example, if the music changes into a higher key, each syllable moves to a correspondingly higher note. This is analogous to the Guidonian practice of giving each degree of the hexachord a solfège name, and is mostly used in Germanic countries, [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]] countries, and the United States.

One particularly important variant of movable do, but differing in some respects from the system described below, was invented in the nineteenth century by [[Sarah Ann Glover]], and is known as [[tonic sol-fa]].

In Italy, in 1972, [[Roberto Goitre]] wrote the famous method "Cantar leggendo", which has come to be used for choruses and for music for young children.

The pedagogical advantage of the movable-Do system is its ability to assist in the theoretical understanding of music; because a tonic is established and then sung in comparison to, the student infers melodic and chordal implications through their singing. 

====Major====
Movable do is frequently employed in Australia, China, Japan (with 5th being so, and 7th being si), Ireland, the United Kingdom, the United States, Hong Kong, and English-speaking Canada. The movable do system is a fundamental element of the [[Kodály method]] used primarily in [[Hungary]], but with a dedicated following worldwide. In the movable do system, each solfège syllable corresponds not to a pitch, but to a scale degree: The first degree of a major scale is always sung as "do", the second as "re", etc. (For minor keys, see below.) In movable do, a given tune is therefore always sol-faed on the same syllables, no matter what key it is in.

The solfège syllables used for movable do differ slightly from those used for fixed do, because the English variant of the basic syllables ("ti" instead of "si") is usually used, and [[Chromatic scale|chromatically]] altered syllables are usually included as well.

If, at a certain point, the key of a piece modulates, then it is necessary to change the solfège syllables at that point. For example, if a piece begins in C major, then C is initially sung on "do", D on "re", etc. If, however, the piece then modulates to F major, then F is sung on "do", G on "re", etc., and C is then sung on "sol".

====Minor====
Passages in a minor key may be sol-faed in one of two ways in movable do: either starting on do (using "me", "le", and "te" for the lowered third, sixth, and seventh degrees, and "la" and "ti" for the raised sixth and seventh degrees), which is referred to as "do-based minor", or starting on la (using "fi" and "si" for the raised sixth and seventh degrees). The latter (referred to as "la-based minor") is sometimes preferred in choral singing, especially with children.

The choice of which system is used for minor makes a difference as to how you handle modulations. In the first case ("do-based minor"), when the key moves for example from C major to C minor the syllable do keeps pointing to the same note, namely C, (there's no "mutation" of do's note), but when the key shifts from C major to A minor (or A major), the scale is transposed from do = C to do = A. In the second case ("la-based minor"), when the key moves from C major to A minor the syllable do continues to point to the same note, again C, but when the key moves from C major to C minor the scale is transposed from do = C to do = E-flat.

===Fixed do solfège===
[[File:French keyboard.png|right|250px|thumb|The names of the notes in Romance languages.]]

In ''Fixed do'', each syllable always corresponds to the same pitch; when the music changes keys, each syllable continues to refer to the same sound (in the absolute sense) as it did before. This is analogous to the Romance-language system naming pitches after the solfège syllables, and is used in Romance and Slavic countries, among others, including Spanish-speaking countries.

From the [[Italian Renaissance]], the debate over the superiority of instrumental music versus singing led Italian voice teachers to use Guido’s syllables for vocal technique rather than pitch discrimination. Hence, specific syllables were associated with fixed pitches. When the [[Paris Conservatoire]] was founded at the turn of the nineteenth century, its solfège textbooks adhered to the conventions of Italian solfeggio, solidifying the use of ''Fixed doh'' in Romance cultures<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Davidson |first1=Andrew |title=Identity, Relationships, and Function in Higher Music Education: Applying an Analogy from Ear Training to Student Wellbeing |journal=International Journal of Music, Health, and Wellbeing |date=2 October 2024 |volume=2024 |issue=Autumn |page=4 |doi=10.5281/zenodo.13882200}}</ref>

In the major [[Romance languages|Romance]] and [[Slavic languages|Slavic]] languages, the syllables Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, and Si are the ordinary names of the notes, in the same way that the letters C, D, E, F, G, A, and B are used to name notes in English. For native speakers of these languages, solfège is simply ''singing the names of the notes'', omitting any modifiers such as "sharp" or "flat" to preserve the rhythm. This system is called '''fixed do''' and is used in [[Belgium]], Brazil, Spain, [[Portugal]], France, Italy, [[Romania]], Latin American countries and in French-speaking Canada as well as countries such as [[Russia]], [[Turkey]], [[Ukraine]], [[Bulgaria]] and [[Israel]] where non-Romance languages are spoken. In the United States, the fixed-do system is taught at many conservatories and schools of music including The [[Juilliard School]] in New York City, the [[Curtis Institute]] of Music in Philadelphia, the [[Eastman School of Music]] in Rochester, New York, the [[New England Conservatory of Music]] in Boston, Massachusetts, the [[San Francisco Conservatory of Music|San Francisco Conservatory]] of Music in San Francisco, California, and the [[Cleveland Institute of Music]] in Cleveland, Ohio.

In the fixed do system, shown above, accidentals do not affect the syllables used. For example, C, C{{music|sharp}}, and C{{music|flat}} (as well as {{nowrap|C{{music|doublesharp}}}} and {{nowrap|C{{music|doubleflat}}}}, not shown above) are all sung with the syllable "do".

====Chromatic variants====
Several chromatic fixed-do systems have also been devised to account for [[chromatic notes]], and even for [[double-sharp]] and [[double-flat]] variants. The [[Yehnian]] system, being the first [[24-EDO]] (i.e., quarter tone) solfège system, proposed even quartertonal syllables. While having no exceptions to its rules, it supports both si and ti users.
