A moveable do refers to the do marking being assigned to the first note of a scale, no matter which pitch it starts on.
To understand this concept, it's important to know that in music theory, the solfege syllables are commonly used to represent the different pitches of a scale. In the movable do system, the do marking is not fixed on a specific pitch like middle C, but rather it is assigned to the first note of any scale.
For example, if we are in the key of C major, where the scale starts on C, the do marking would be assigned to C. However, if we were in the key of G major, where the scale starts on G, the do marking would be assigned to G.
This means that the do marking can change depending on the key or starting pitch of a scale. It provides a flexible way of understanding and representing different scales and key signatures.
