a moveable do refers to

Answer 1

a musical concept in which the tonic note (or "do") can be transposed to different pitches within a piece of music.

In moveable do, the pitch name "do" always represents the tonic, or the first note of the major scale. This means that no matter what key the music is in, the note "do" will always be the starting pitch.

For example, if a piece of music is in the key of C major, C will be the tonic note and called "do." In the key of A major, A will be the tonic note and also called "do." In moveable do, the tonic note is always referred to as "do," and the other pitches are identified by their corresponding scale degrees (re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti).

This concept is particularly useful in sight-singing and ear training exercises, as it allows musicians to easily recognize and reproduce melodies in different keys without needing to apply specific pitch names to each note.
