Thanks so much for posting! Im trying out for our city choir in a couple of week, and this is really helping remember all the areas to tone up before auditions!
Thank you! I've been graduated for 2 years and I wanted to check that my sight reading from show choir still held up! This made me way more confident in my sight reading so I can be more comfortable in the future wen auditioning for an adult choir in the state or at my university!
Thanks for the helpful content! I know it was made for regions, but this helped me alot in sight reading and now I just gotta use the skills for all county auds.
I’m not auditioning but i needed practice in sight reading, i got all but 7 correct. I have currently been in coir since i was 10, i am a ninth grader now. Thx for giving the starting notes. I am glad that i found this video. Thx for posting this. I hope you are well and healthy in these bad times
Omg omg omg!!! You have no idea how much this will help me! I am auditioning for Concert Choir in my school. (The top choir) This was such a huge help!
I learned both fixed and moveable. Fixed is great for sight reading and getting the pitches right as the pitches are drilled into you. Moveable is great because it gives you the placement of the note within the chord structure. I like both and both have the positives and negatives.
@@beloved3244 fixed do means do is always on C. Movable means Do is always the tonic of whatever key you're in. So D major means Do is D, C major means Do is C, etc.
Glad it was helpful! I'm not working on any new sight-singing videos yet, but let me know if you are looking for anything specific and I'll think about how I might incorporate it into a future video.
Do most choirs want you to use a tuning fork for audition or will they give you are starting note? I can do both, I'm just a bit worried cause I have trouble identifying minor keys sometimes.
Scott Semanski I really hope you do more video like this

How it’s work if you have minor tones ? It’s so helpful thanks ! I have a cappella song to prepare during 30 minutes next friday for the last grade in music theory !
Very nice, but it'll be much better if you count before start singing, you can count by metronome or even you say: one two three four. It's very good that the student sings with you, or while you'r singing. I have not much for singing videos. I don't know did you mention that you're using movable DO, because in many countries they have no idea what's movable do. Your video is very needed for students how are going to ABRSM exams. Many thanks for lovely video.
Is this the so called movable do? This is the same way I sight sing a sheet music. That is, my do re mi move depending on the key. Are there people who can really sight sing in fixed so?
Hey guys I got a phone back from the phone with the phone back and I was just texting to see if you wanted to call me back and thanks bye bye thanks for the update thanks for letting us out on our meeting today at work lol lol thanks for coming back thanks
What confuses me, is that what you sing is spanish, does not correspond to the note written, i´m sure there is a reason to it i.e. excercise 1, starts with an F, and what you sing in spanish is Do, which means C. can you elaborate please?
In solfeggio you can use a movable Do if you'd like to. You're more than welcome to use Do Di Ra Re and everything in between and so forth, but some prefer to move Do with the change of the key signature.
I learned both fixed (Do is always C) and moveable (Do is the tonic). He is singing moveable Do. Fixed is great for sight reading and getting the pitches right as the pitches are drilled into you. Moveable is great because it gives you the placement of the note within the chord structure. I like both and both have the positives and negatives.
I’m so confused because google says Fa is Do but my teacher says it’s different.. I don’t understand 😭how do I practice for my test if they’re not the same
its FA, but for some reason USA people started to call all firstest notes from a sequence by "DO", as if DO by itself was always the first note, and not a name for a specific note, as happens throughout the rest of the world
cause USA is weird, they use the word DO like a indicative that is the first note of a sequence, instead of use the correct words relative to each note
Your book uses the scale of C as an example to make things simple (because C is the simplest scale with no sharps or flats). In actuality, the Do Re Mi pattern can be used for any scale! The first example in this video is an F scale, which means Do is F, Re is G, and so on.
Great question! I'm using a "Moveable Do" solfege system, which means that Do changes to match whatever key the song in. The first melody is in F major, so that means that F will become Do for that melody, so that's why I sang Do. There's another solfege system called "Fixed Do", in which Do is always C, so that might be what you're used to. Both systems have their pros and cons, but I like teaching "Moveable Do" because it can help students to recognize intervals between notes and sightread easily in any key.
