How do You Want to Name the Music Notes: A B C D E F G or DO RE MI FA SOL LA SI?
Mainly used in Anglo Saxon countries (and so in jazz), the alphabetical musical notation uses the letters of the alphabet: A B C D E F G.
The Syllabic musical notation – DO RE MI FA SOL LA SI – is used by Italian, Portuguese, Greek, French, Russian, Flemish, Romanian, Spanish, Hebrew and Turkish people.
A = LA
B = SI
C = DO
D = RE,
E = MI
F = FA
G = SOL

Each video has always an a and b musical reading :
