[[Kite Giedraitis|Kite's]] solfege is nicknamed "Do Re Me" for harmonics 8:9:10. It uses the conventional consonants D, R, M, F, S, L and T. It uses unconventional vowels. For each degree, the sequence runs [[wikipedia:Front_vowel|front]] to [[wikipedia:Back_vowel|back]] (i.e. bright to dim) -i -e -a -o -u for upmajor-major-mid-minor-downminor. Kite's [[24edo solfege]] is a subset of this solfege.

===Learning suggestion===
Even with many familiar consonants and a consistent vowel sequence, it can take a while to master 35 syllables. One might want to divide-and-conquer. Start with using this simple solfege:
Da - Ra - Ma - Fa - Sa - La - Ta - Da
Each syllable is a catch-all term. For example, Ra covers Ri, Re, Ra, Ro and Ru. Using this solfege helps with <u>un</u>learning the syllables Mi, Fa, So, La and Ti, which are still present but have a changed meaning.
Once this is fully internalized, add in the other 4 vowels.
===The circle of fifths===
===The circle of fifths===
The 5 vowels create 5 chains of fifths. The 2 tritones with duplicate names each connect 2 pairs of chains. Thus there are only 3 fifths that don't rhyme:

However going a 5th up from an aug or upaug 4th would go to an aug or upaug 8ve, which doesn't exist in this solfege. Therefore one must rename the 4th as a dim 5th, then go up to a minor 2nd. Thus Fe + 5th = Su + 5th = Ru. Dim 5ths may also need renaming: So + 4th = Fi + 4th = Ti.
