Q: what do you think of names for musical notes like do re mi rather than letters like E C G
A: in america, do re mi is relative, it just means scale degrees, like nashville uses numbers. they work according to the key your in, so "do" is always the root of the key but not always the same letter note. i have heard that in some countries 'do' always means C. it is 2 completely different ways of using the system, and i'm not sure either way is more useful than using letters and numbers
