"It's as easy as DO-RE-MI."  (SOUND OF MUSIC)

Sorry for the quote, but solfege training allows one to internalize pitches
and turn the notes on the page into sounds in our ear.  The extremely
complicated skills needed to play can only be controlled at the highest ans
"simplest" level.

In all this I am a "card-carrying" follower of Arnold Jacobs.
