How do you play songs on re mi fa so la ti do?

The sequence "re mi fa so la ti do" represents the solfège names of the notes in the major scale. To play a song using these syllables, you need to know the melody of the song and the corresponding solfège syllables for each note. Here's a general method to play songs using solfège:

1. Learn the melody:

- Listen to the song and familiarize yourself with the tune.

- Identify the highest and lowest notes in the song's melody.

2. Determine the starting note:

- The starting note is usually the tonic (do) of the song's key.

3. Assign solfège syllables:

- Starting from the tonic (do), assign solfège syllables (re, mi, fa, so, la, ti) to the subsequent notes in the melody, following the ascending and descending patterns of the scale.

- If a note is repeated, it retains the same solfège syllable.

- For notes outside the basic solfège syllables (re to do), you can use modifiers like "re sharp" or "ti flat" to indicate these altered notes.

4. Practice:

- Sing the song using solfège syllables while following the melody.

- With practice, you should be able to sing and play the song effectively using solfège syllables.

5. Apply solfège to an instrument:

- Once you've mastered singing the song using solfège syllables, you can apply this knowledge to playing the melody on an instrument (e.g., piano, guitar, flute).

- Use the solfège syllables as a guide to identify the corresponding notes on the instrument.

Remember, solfège is a tool to help you understand and learn musical melodies more easily. You may find different solfège interpretations for a particular song, as variations in notation and musical interpretations can occur.
