The correct answer is (1 point) ra.
To determine which of the options is not a minor solfège syllable, we need to understand what solfège syllables are.
Solfège syllables are used in music to represent the pitches of the musical scale. They are often taught using a system called the movable do solfège, which assigns specific syllables to each scale degree. In this system, the major scale is represented with the syllables "do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do," where "do" represents the tonic or first note of the scale.
In minor scales, there are different sets of solfège syllables involved. The three basic minor scales are natural minor, harmonic minor, and melodic minor. For the purpose of this question, we need to know the solfège syllables used in the natural minor scale:
La, Ti, Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La.
Now let's examine the options:
- ra: This is not a solfège syllable found in the natural minor scale.
- me: This is a solfège syllable found in the natural minor scale.
- le: This is a solfège syllable found in the natural minor scale.
- te: This is a solfège syllable found in the natural minor scale.
Therefore, the correct answer is "ra" since it is not a minor solfège syllable.
