      So in G major, you’d get two letters matched (D and E) instead of just one.

        I’ve watched enough YouTube to know I really want to hear the alphabet in G major now

        And yep, it exists and I’m not disappointed!

            And that’s why I love it! “__ in G major” was a pretty common thing back in the day on YouTube. They all sound like this. Everything from mainstream music to Hotel Mario fell victim to G major.

    Coincidentally the 7th note of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is also 7 semitones from the root.

      Which is also a G (when played in key of C). In fact, it’s the same G note as the letter G in the alphabet song, since it’s the same song and G is the 7th letter.

            I used “also” because it’s describing the same note.

            The two songs have the same melody.

            Don’t be silly. I know exactly what “also” means.

            Now what does “letter” mean?

        Thanks. There are a few minor details in the melody, but considering the harmony and rhythmic structure, it’s really not coincidental why that note is there.

        In order to follow common practice theory and with that limited rhythm, there are very few ways in which that note would be any different.

      Didn’t they change the song? They removed that letter.

    In the Jackson 5’s song ABC they actually sing sol la do instead of do re mi.

        For vocalists in Western music traditions, the steps of a major scale (doesn’t matter the key) go by the names Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do instead of just 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 the way most other musicians refer to them.

        They are saying that in the song ABC by the Jackson Five, the notes they sing in that relative key when they say “Do Re Mi” are actually “So La Do”

          The “do re mi” system is called solfege, and there are actually two versions on it. In one, “do” is always C and in the other, “do” is the root note of the scale being used.

    So does that mean the note for Q is a Q?
