Solfege is usually used in singing classes or in specific countries like Mexico and other countries of Latin America. One of the differences you may have noted is how some people call the pitches. This is the standard notation, it has many variables based on history and music genre, before we discuss those differences we recommend learning to read sheet music, so you can understand the terminology. The types of notations are music sheets, tablatures, lead sheets, MIDI, percussion notation, shape notation, and graphic notation. Music notation is any way to show music visually. In this article we will go over the different formats, what are they, understanding the basics of how they read, the problems you can encounter when you search for songs in that format, and how to solve them in a fast and beginner-friendly way. Let’s say you want to learn a song, you search for the music sheet and you find there are 2 or 3 different versions of it, one seems old or incomplete, another is for another instrument and the last has symbols in another language.
