Vocal Scale

"Do, a deer, a female deer.. Re, a drop of golden sun.." Etc..
You know that song from the "Sound Of Music" and that is a huge part of singing is the musical  scale.
You can go off of the scale into sharps and flats.
An F# is just the step up from a F and A Bb is a step down from B
C D E F G A B C
If you go up a half step it would be a sharp after a whole. (For example: C to C# 'sharp')
After youre at a sharp, you go up another half step and it would turn to a flat. (For example: C# to Db 'flat')
Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do
As you go up, like the C D E F G A B C, you go up. Most people can lift the octive, and make the high Do (After Ti) at a higher pitch.
