Solfege
Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do'
Solfege is a music education method that aims to help students better understand pitch relationships and improve their listening, singing, and music reading skills. At the core of solfege is a set of standard syllables or names for a musical scale, usually consisting of seven notes: Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, and can be expanded to more notes. The basic principle of solfege is to teach students how to understand pitch and melody by singing these syllables or names.
Solfege is most commonly used in vocal and choral instruction because singing is a very direct way to understand and express music. In solfege instruction, teachers guide students in learning how to sing different notes and how to combine them into melodies and harmonies. Solfege can also be used in instrumental instruction, for example, when practicing a piece, students can use solfege to sing the melody to help them better understand and perform the music.
Solfege is translated as "solfeggio" or "solfa" in English, and may have different names in different music education systems. It is a globally recognized music education method that is widely used in music education and performance.

Ludwig van Beethoven
Ludwig van Beethoven, German composer, the predominant musical figure during the transition between the Classical to Romantic eras. He occupies an unprecedented dominance in the history of Western music history, and has been widely regarded as the greatest, most influential and most popular musician who ever lived.
Beethoven's music inherited the artistic atmosphere of Haydn and Mozart, penetrated the desire for dignity, vented the anger tortured by fate, and demonstrated his determination to fight with fate.
Compared to other musicians, Beethoven is effectively to interact the philosophy of life with audience through music. Although he was not a romantic, he had become the object followed by other romantics.
As a musician, Beethoven suffered from ear diseases. However, he was unwilling to succumb to fate, vowing to take fate by the throat, and continue to complete his career. In the last ten years of his life, without hearing any sound, his compositions influenced the development of music for nearly two hundred years.
