Solfège table in an Irish classroom. Tonic sol-fa (or tonic sol-fah) is a pedagogical technique for teaching sight-singing, invented by Sarah Anna Glover (1786–1867) of Norwich, England and popularised by John Curwen, who adapted it from a number of earlier musical systems.
Italian "solfeggio" and English/French "solfège" derive from the names of two of the syllables used: sol and fa.[2] [3]The generic term "solmization", referring to any system of denoting pitches of a musical scale by syllables, including those used in India and Japan as well as solfège, comes from French solmisation, from the Latin solfège syllables sol and mi.
Tea: a drink with jam and bread, alludes to the seventh solfège syllable, ti. As the song concludes, "When you know the notes to sing, you can sing most anything." [5]

The system for other Western countries is similar, though si is often used as the final syllable rather than ti. Guido of Arezzo is thought likely to have originated the modern Western system of solmization by introducing the ut–re–mi–fa–so–la syllables, which derived from the initial syllables of each of the first six half-lines of ...
B, also known as Si, Ti, or, in some European countries, H, [1] is the seventh note and the twelfth semitone of the fixed-Do solfège. Its enharmonic equivalents are C ♭ (C-flat) and A (A-double sharp). When calculated in equal temperament with a reference of A above middle C as 440 Hz, the frequency of Middle B (B 4) is 493.883 Hz. [2]
A drawback often pointed out is that numerical numbers are not always "singable," for example, scale degree 7 (ti, in solfege) contains vowels that are hard to tune. Numerical sight singing is not the same as integer notation derived from musical set theory and used primarily for sight singing atonal music.
Sarah Anna Glover. Sarah Anna Glover (13 November 1786 – 20 October 1867) was an English music educator who invented the Norwich sol-fa system. [1] Her Sol-fa system was based on the ancient gamut; but she omitted the constant recital of the alphabetical names of each note and the arbitrary syllable indicating key relationship, and also the recital of two or more such syllables when the same ...
