In music, solfège (, ,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/solfége )〕 ) or solfeggio (, ), also called sol-fa, solfa, solfeo, solfejo, among many names, is a music education method used to teach pitch and sight singing. Solfège is taught at every level of music education in some countries, from primary through graduate level university study. Many music education methods use solfège to teach pitch and sight-reading, most notably the Kodály Method. The study of solfège enables the musician to audiate, or mentally hear, the pitches of a piece of music which he or she is seeing for the first time and then to sing them aloud. Solfège study also improves recognition of musical intervals (perfect fifths, minor sixths, etc.), and strengthens the understanding of music theory. Solfège is a form of solmization, and the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably. The technique of solfège involves assigning the notes of a scale a particular syllable, and then practicing by singing different note sequences using these syllables. The sequences gradually get more difficult in terms of intervals and rhythms used. The seven syllables commonly used for this practice in English-speaking countries are: ''do'' (or ''doh'' in tonic sol-fa),〔''Oxford English Dictionary'' 2nd Ed.(1998) 〕 ''re'', ''mi'', ''fa'', ''sol'' (or ''so'' in tonic sol-fa), ''la'', and ''ti''. In other languages, ''si'' is used (see below) for the seventh scale tone. There are two ways of applying solfège: 1) fixed do, where the syllables are always tied to specific pitches (e.g. "do" is always the pitch "C") and 2) movable do, where the syllables are assigned to different pitches based on musical context. ==Etymology== Italian "solfeggio" and French "solfège" ultimately derive from the names of two of the syllables used: sol and fa.〔 〕〔 〕 The English equivalent of this expression, "sol-fa", is sometimes used, especially as a verb (to "sol-fa" a passage is to sing it in solfège).〔 〕 The word "solmization" derives from the Medieval Latin "solmisatio", ultimately from the names of the syllables sol and mi. "Solmization" is often used synonymously with "solfège", but is technically a more generic term,〔 〕 taking in alternative series of syllables used in other cultures such as India and Japan. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Solfège」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
