👍 gracias. Master. Desde Chile.

[@dennisaguirre297]

Wow! i am impressed!

[@kennylochner2183]

I am thinking of using these with my church choir for those who come to me for singing and music reading help. Now, I just need to get a large screen and sound system instead of my phone.

[@RogerHale]

Kenny, Good luck. If you would like I have now included a PDF of the melodies that I go over in the video. You can print out and distribute to your choir members.

[@harrychewe6935]

I would want to practice Bflat

[@isaisa3845]

I want to thank you for your good job, it helps me a lot with my children's choir. Would you be so kind as to subtitle it in Spanish? My english is poor. Where can I get the image of the scale of major G than this in the video? Thank you. God bless you.

[@RogerHale]

Buen Dia Isa, Se puede encontrar todos los escalas cuando visita mi website solfasinger.com/GMajor/index.html. Hay que escoger qual clave.

[@normaceciliagonzaleznavia1522]

Buenas tardes, de nuevo gracias, dice que el archivo no existe

[@RogerHale]

Hola Norma, Mucho Gusto. He corregido el "link".

[@trevorjones6659]

You changed key and you did the 6/8 in 4/4 it was very confusing and messed up my classes warm up other than that very nice just stay in key please

[@RogerHale]

Whoops, should probably fix that😊 sorry

[@tosocchelzea6286]

How do you sing majors I need it and I'm suffering from thinking how

[@RogerHale]

Are you struggling to sing a major scale? ~Roger

[@ducruix6685]

I am confused, I have always learned( in France) that what we call Do is the C note. So what you call Do is actually Sol!

[@phamnguyenductin]

This one is a "movable Do", which means the G major scale is "transposed" to a C major.

[@RogerHale]

Hi Bambi. There are two different types of Solfege "Moveable Do" changes to the home key of whatever key you are singing in. "Fixed Do" is always C. Both can be useful. I use "Fixed Do" when singing difficult non-tonal chromatic music. I use "Moveable Do" for every thing else. I hope this helps. ~Roger

[@ducruix6685]

@@RogerHale Got it, thank you! Your videos are super helpful!

[@isaisa3845]

Buen vídeo. ¿Podrías subtitularlos en español?

[@RogerHale]

Isa, Pone subtitularios en Ingles. Usted puede escoger "auto translate" en la menú de configuración. Escoge Espanol

[@podcarbarcaculers]

Roger every pentagram is with the notes changed

[@erggish]

Are you showing different notes to what you are singing? That was confusing...You know that that curvy thing you have at the top pentagram is the key of sol, and it tells you that the 2nd line of the pentagram is the "sol" (and not do)

[@RogerHale]

Hi @Chris X. The system that I am using is movable DO. You are speaking of Fixed DO where G is always "SOL". When using moveable DO the new key center becomes the new "DO." I hope this makes sense. ~Roger

[@teresaestevezalvarez664]

That was confusing to me too. I sing in a choir and sing complicated pieces which I follow on the score. I want to learn solfage to get the rithm, timing and correct note from the outset. We are preparing for May amongts other pieces Mozart Requiem. Thank you for imparting your knowledge

[@erggish]

@@RogerHale interesting, thanks
