Why does Forte use solfege do, re, mi instead of CDE for beginner classes?
The Forte Method uses Solfege for many reasons: Using do, re, mi instead of CDE means your child will not get confused with learning the alphabet, reading and writing. Solfege is much easier to sing than letter names, which have lots of sounds that strain the voice (eeee sounds). Using Solfege helps with pitch memory, which means students recognize notes more easily when played.
