常見錯誤

❌The choir hit a beautiful sew on the last chord.
✅The choir hit a beautiful soh on the last chord.
💡'sew' means to stitch fabric; 'soh' is the fifth syllable in the sol-fa scale.
❌Soh is the third note in the scale.
✅Soh is the fifth note in the scale.
💡In tonic sol-fa, the order is doh, ray, me, fah, soh — soh is always position five.
