Use solfa. It is already working in the brain of any musically literate person.


I am musically literate but, while 'do re mi' and ' 'la ti' are obvious, when it comes to 'fa' and 'so', if I am searching for a random note in my head, I often have to start at 'do' again or refer to Julie Andrews. I am much happier with 'c d e ...'

Why is it 'solfa' when 'fa' comes before 'so'?
