[TPIN] sol feggio

[Orion Development Corp - D. Arndt]

In fixed Do, there are only 7 'notes' to worry about:

Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si

If you see a flat or a sharp, you observe it in pitch, but use the same note 
word, as above.  For example: Bb uses the word "Si", F# uses the word "Fa". 

Simple.

As for learning both fixed and movable Do... it depends on how far you're 
going to take it.  My trumpet teacher (Tony Marchione) could site-solfege 
anything (fixed Do).  He used to do exercises out of the Pasquale Bona book.  
For *most* people, achieving that level of ability would take dedication to 
that type of solfege alone.
