In a recent aural skills diagnostic test for one of my courses, my answer of "major minor 7th chord" was marked wrong, with the correction of "dominant 7th chord" written over top. Professor FAIL.

Oh, and apparently there's no such thing as movable Do.

That's fine, fixed Do is a joke by comparison! I have a question now, if you are using fixed Do for solfege, does one use numbers to indicate scale degrees? Just wondering? Or does it mean that students do not learn to hear function?


Fixed Do is fine if you haven't learned letters for note names, but if you have, it's totally redundant. Ah well, c'est la vie!
