So it is solfege "by the numbers." A basic, diatonic scale (most music we hear and love) is made up of seven different notes (I'd look up the song "Doe A Dear" on YouTube for the BEST explanation). It is handy to number them 1 through 8 (with 8 being the first note repeated, only one octave higher).


So, in C major the first scale degree (number 1) is "C." As you go up, you go up the alphabet. The second scale degree of the C major scale is "D." In the French discipline of solfege, you actually sing the actual name of the note. But it is easier (to most of us in the US) to just go by the number. That makes 4 an "F." The seventh is "B." When you start to consider harmony (or chords), you start to think in terms of the distance from the 1st note to whatever the the next note is. For example a fourth (perfect fourth interval) is 1 to 4 (C to F) or 2 to 5 (D to G) etc. Same idea for the other intervals such as the seventh for example (1 to 7, or C to B).
