In Japan, there are three ways introduced from abroad to read music notes: French,German,and English(American).But when we read in mind, or sing a song, we are taught to read in French way. Namely, Do, Re, Mi, etc. just like Jury Andrews' singing the song of Do-Re-Mi. When singind aloud we do not read sharp or flat, only change the intonation by half note. To enable this we learn the sharp or flat mark positions for each scale. For example,sharp marks are added on the lines in this order Fa-Do-So-Re...
This is a superb way to read music,since each tone consits of only one pronuniciation,not like Es or Ais(German), E-flat or A-flat(English). Since I knew German or English way of reading,I kept wondering how German or English/American people read music especially in solfege practice.
