East Indian Solfege Block + Graphics Block Translation!
In Music Blocks, it might be common for you to use the note block with the Western Solfege, where we use “do”, “re”, “mi”, “fa”, “sol”, “la”, and “ti”.
However, we have implemented a new feature — the East Indian Solfege!
The East Indian Solfege comprises of “sa”, “re”, “ga”, “ma”, “pa”, “dha”, and “ni”, and where:
‘sa’ = ‘do’
re’ = ‘re’
‘ga’ = ‘me’
‘ma’ = ‘fa’
pa’ = ‘sol’
‘dha’ = ‘la’
ni’ = ‘ti’
The seven notes of the musical scale in Indian classical music are shadja (षड्ज), rishabh (ऋषभ), gandhar (गान्धार), madhyam (मध्यम), pancham (पञ्चम), dhaivat (धैवत) and nishad (निषाद). These seven svara are shortened to Sa, Ri (Carnatic) or Re (Hindustani), Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, and Ni. Collectively these notes are known as the sargam (the word is an acronym of the consonants of the first four svaras). Sargam is the Indian equivalent to solfege.

Moreover, we have also implemented a i18n (internationalization) translation for the Graphics Blocks, which enables them to be translated across different languages!
As Music Blocks is expanding globally to children and adults all over the world, it is vital that we can have solfege of different languages to provide greater accessibility and transparency for users!
It was widely said that music is the language spoken across different languages, so we hope that you have enjoyed using this East Indian Solfege Block and the translation of Graphics Block in your native language, and learnt more about music across different countries!
