At least at school. Guido invented musical notation. Before him, melody was taught by tones. almost like Chinese now. Cantors in churches studied for 10 years. Guido reduced his training to a year and a half. He was the first to line the sheet with 4 lines (the 5th appeared later) and began to write notes in a box. Guido Monaco gave the names of the notes after the first syllables of the then well-known Latin hymn in honor of John the Baptist (ut-re-mi-fa-sol-la). "Do" and "C" appeared later.
