If not, you won’t get this musician’s joke…
How did you do?
Well, let’s fill in the gaps with some background. To start with, solfege is “the study of singing and musicianship using solmization syllables”.
Ha ha! Don’t worry, solmization was a brand new word for me, too! It means: “a system of associating each note of a scale with a particular syllable, especially to teach singing”.
Also known as…the Do-Re-Mi’s (Julie/Maria explains it so well)!
Okay, now you can go back to the image at the beginning, say your Do-Re-Mi’s backwards*, and prepare to chuckle!
The bonus is that you actually learned a little bit of music theory.
