Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz practice?
The equivalences between note names as letters (C, D, E…), as fixed-do solfège (Do, Re, Mi…) and in German (where B natural is H and B♭ is B). Each question shows the answer and a short explanation.
How can I memorize the equivalences quickly?
With repetition: retake the quiz until you answer without hesitating. Start with the letters (C-D-E-F-G-A-B = Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Si) and leave German for last, because it only changes B natural (H) and B♭ (B).
