Learn & Grow:
Solfege is a centuries-old method used around the world and widely taught at all levels of music instructions. It utilizes syllables and hand signs to develop and strengthen the understanding of pitch relationships and teach sight singing. Understanding solfege also aids in transcribing (writing down) music and improves improvisational and composition skills.
