Lyrics By Oscar Hammerstein II Music By Richard Rodgers "Do-Re-Mi" is Maria's teaching song, sung to the reluctant children, who have just been introduced to yet another governess. Though the children tell Maria there is no music in the house, she forges ahead, unperturbed. One by one, the children warm to Maria and the notion of singing. By the middle of the 19th century, the "fa so la" system of four syllables had acquired a major rival, namely the seven-syllable "do re mi" system. Thus, music compilers began to add three more shapes to their books to match the extra syllables. Numerous seven-shape notations were devised. It was originally Si, but it is better to use Ti instead, because then you can use only one letter to indicate each note: Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti. This is natural and nice not like the artificial ABC. And why do we need movable, Do is always the white key before the two blacks on piano .
