Could you not study intervals and make them all relative to 1 just like solfège?

[@MusicalU]

If you always anchor your intervals to the root/tonic note, then you're essentially doing solfa, just with different names - so yes, you can! But you lose the power of intervals and the advantages of the solfa names.

Booooooom! 6:28 You're not dependent on the note before.

[@jazznotes3802]

Yes, very important point.

Hi I'm interested in ear training using solfa. Can you direct me on any of your RUclips videos and where to sign up.
