sol fege

The Italian words- do, re, mi, fa, sol/so, la, ti- that make up the major scale. Commonly used in choirs.

Forgive me, but I must give a little Italian pronunciation lesson here. The correct pronunciation for the Italian vowels are as follows:

a- "ah"
e- "ay"
i- "ee"
o- "oh"
u- "oo"

This system of vowel pronunciation comes from the Latin language. Vowels are also pronounced the same way in many other languages, including Spanish and French.

My choir director was pleased that the new student already knew sol fege.
