At the renowned Grove School of Music in Los Angeles, hundreds of students, ranging from novices to seasoned professionals, have benefited from innovative courses that employ SOLFEG (the syllables Do, Re, Mi, etc.) within a relative pitch framework centered on key signatures. The first level focuses on developing the ability to hear and transcribe melodies, rhythms, intervals, and bass lines, progressing to the identification of triads and basic chord progressions.
