I am teaching my children notes and solfege. LMs teaches fixed "do", and I am teaching movable "Do". The big advantage to fixed "Do" is that in many countries, that is what they use- ie- there are no letter names, "Do" IS the notes. BrillKids is an international company, so when they were making the program they had to take that into consideration. With fixed Do, "C" is always "Do". With movable Do, the key note is "do". So in C major, C is "do". In F major, F is "do", and so forth. Everything in Semester 1 of LMs is in C major, so it doesn't matter which kind of solfege you are teaching. I originally was going to adapt semester 2 for movable "do", but ultimately I got lazy and just redid semester 1 again as I have other music resources we are working on. But I did make a sound file to share that may be helpful:
