Playing by ear


Notes should be sung by their names.


Like an erotic partner, it does not hurt to know the name.
Later today's addition: it does not hurt to not knowing it either.
Does this suggest that knowing the name of the note is more important?


For example:
To the Moon and Back - Savage Garden
The melody at verse begins:
Do Sol Fa Fa Do Do Si Do Fa Re Do Si...
Remember all B and E are flat since the key is C minor 3rd


This came about while working out a Hatzidakis song (Περμπανου) with Vicky.
