English translation:reading keys (fixed Do system) (Key reading)
Explanation:
The subject of the course combines: reading and writing music, music bars, intervals, chords, reading keys, terms of the dynamics, tempo, transposition, exercises etc.

This system is also referred to "movable do solfeggio" because the solfeggio syllables are determined by the key signature. The "fixed do" system assigns do to C regardless of the key signature.

agree  AnneM (X): sounds much better than 'key reading'; sad thing is that I did music classes too :-(

agree  Charles Davis: This is it. AnneM is right about fixed do; it means do is the tonic whichever key you're in. But clave means clef and nothing else.

note reading


Explanation:
Note Reading

It means the student is given a piece of music and they must sing the notes on sight. It's like a sight translation in translation. They may be cued by a C note, the teacher plays the note on the piano for example OR they may just sing out in relative pitch.

SORRY

This is simply \"Sight Reading\" I remember now that that\'s what i\'t\'s called.
