He developed the ancestor of the modern system of precise pitch notation through lines and spaces (the stave), and a method of sight-singing based on the syllables ut , re , mi , fa , sol , la. Guido is described by a near-contemporary as using the joints of the hand as an aid in teaching this hexachord.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62644690288799,"sku":"25301","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Penna_GuidonianHand_Liprimialborimusicali25301a.jpg?v=1769199630","url":"https:\/\/www.schubertiademusic.com\/products\/25301-penna-lorenzo-guidonian-hand-li-primi-albori-musicali-per-il-principianti-della-musica-figurata","provider":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
