Do you mind giving your reasoning for this? In the US at least, do-re- 
mi tends to be singers only in my experience, other instrumentalists  
use A-B-C. Of the instrumentalists I played with in high school, only  
those who were also singers knew do-re-mi at all. I suppose I could  
ask some folk here who happen to be studying Music Performance or  
Music Education to see if it's more common at the university level.  
(By 'here' I mean University of Michigan, where I'm studying.)
