One of Dave's blogs was about the musical alphabet....and once again my curiosity got the best of me...for years I've tried to find the answer to this but have not been able to....I'm sure someone out there (Brian?) has the/an answer....I've googled, wikipedia, you name it....and have not been able to get a "because"...Here's the question....In most countries children learn music theory with DO RE MI FA SO LA TI DO..... In the U.S.A. somehow we went to C D E F G A B....does anyone know why???? The CDEFGAB does not exist for them....and here, it is the MAIN way to teach theory...I WANT TO KNOW WHY!!!!
It is very confusing to those of us that learned with Do Re Mi...and I want to know who I should be mad at
