| Jul 11, 2017 at 6:25 | comment | added | Tim | It's an interesting read about the two - similarities/differences/history. In my 'Oxford Companion to Music': two paragraphs are dedicated to 'solfege', while seven pages explain 'tonic sol-fa'. It would be interesting to try to explain one to someone who is used to the other! I've tried and bewilderment is the usual result. Also - have a read of your second para., one sentence is odd. | |
