Oh, I just realized what video you’re posting in. Don’t use solfège to think about C and D. You just want to label them as C or D and just appreciate any small differences in sound between the two notes.
@UreMusic Yes, I understand what you mean I can hear the differences between notes , but I still struggle with sight singing . I wonder why and what I am still lacking? Thank you for your guidance 😊🙏🙏 I am very glad that I discovered your channel🙏🫡
@@NouraEinstein More than likely, you are just lacking practice. There are also some techniques for sight-singing that can help you longterm. I've talked about some of these in my podcast videos, but at one point, I need to make a video on the best approach to sight-singing. Of course, it's all my opinion and personal experience, but that's the great thing about UA-cam. You can keep searching until you find the instructor who works for you.
I struggled with solfège too. It was the hardest part of sight singing as an undergraduate. We would be given one minute to review a melody and I would spend the entire time learning the solfège, but it gets easier with practice, even for me!
I believe (for me) seeing the staff note along with the tone would provide a stronger connection as it will help to 'read' notes. Right now, they're floating out in space with no anchor.
I get that, but then you would be focusing on the wrong thing and we don't really want an anchor for this to be effective. Focus only on developing your intuition and your sense of the note. If you’re looking for something that shows you the notes, look at The Staff Speaks playlist. It does that. This exercise is about the sound and not the theory.
Got about 60% right I'm guessing. It helped when a C followed D by a whole step, so a little cheat there. Was familiar enough with, I believe, C3 & C4, but got thrown by Octaves.
Thanks for this. Interesting experiment!

@@UreMusic I am looking forward to it 😊

THANK YOU for your prompt, and thorough explanation (and link). Very kind and generous of you and it is sincerely appreciated.

See if it gets any better as you keep coming back. Don’t need to do it every day, even every other day should help.
