Different countries use varying note naming systems. Here's a quick overview:

✅ a) Guido D'Arezzo's Notation

Invented around 1000 AD, the "DO RE MI FA SOL LA SI/TI" notation is used in Italy, most of Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America.

✅ b) Boethius' Notation

In the 6th century, Boethius proposed using Latin letters (C D E F G A B/H) - the notation is used in the US, Germany, Scandinavia, Slavic countries, UK, and British colonies.

Both D'Arezzo and Boethius notations are globally recognized. To learn which one you should use, watch the next video.
