Description

Notes are not 7! They are 6!

The note Si does not exist, or rather, it is a fairly recent invention.

Music education in the Renaissance and Baroque periods began with the teaching of choral singing, which was integrated with or subsequently followed by the study of Solfeggio.

A type of Solfeggio very different from the modern one, both from the Fixed Do and the Moveable Do.

A type of Solfeggio based on scales of 6 sounds called Hexachordal Solmization!

In this book, you will discover the historical sources and the centuries-old tradition of this lost but highly effective method of music education!
