Mal Webb | ブログ: "I was recently singing scales and wanted one syllable names for all the scale degrees (without doing Solfege (Do Re Mi), which is kind of overcomplicated and inconsistent), so I shortened Seven to Sen and named the "black" notes to fit between the white numbers, thus: One, Woo, Two, Tee, Three, Four, Far, Five, Fix, Six, Sin, Sen. Simple! What's more, "Far" is as far from one as you can get and "Sin" is the note that defines jazz.... how appropriate!
