Origin of Solfeggio
- Solfeggio originated nearly a thousand years ago
- An Italian monk, Guido d'Arezzo, noticed that the beginning of hymns could be sung using syllables instead of note names
- Developed a six-note ascending scale based on the initial pitch of each hymn phrase
- The syllable “ut” was eventually changed to “do”
Performing Solfeggio with Latin Syllables and Musical Letters
- Learn to perform Solfeggio using Latin syllables (do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do) and musical letters (C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C)
- Understand and perform Ethiopian music modes (Tizita and Bati)
Calling Pitches
- Call pitches in ascending order: Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-LA-Si-Do
- Call pitches in descending order: Do-Si-LA-Sol-Fa-Mi-Re-Do
- Practice with a piano or virtual keyboard, playing the major scale in the key of C while singing Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Si-Do
Expression of Ideas in Theatre, Film/Video
- Theatre combines words, voice, movement, and visual elements
- Theatre encompasses live performance of improvised and scripted (text) work
- It also includes film, television, and other electronic media
Expression of Ideas in Photography
- Creative photography involves expressing ideas through unique techniques and approaches
- This can involve unusual combinations of perspectives, unusual subjects, unusual photographic techniques, or using multiple mediums, such as painting in combination with the photograph

- Bokeh: unfocused points of light
