There is an old story (I'm sure that it isn't true) that when Mozart was a very young child, his father would come into his bedroom early in the morning and approach his harpsichord across the room. He would then play, "Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti" and then leave the room.

Agitated, Mozart would finally have to get out of bed to finish the scale, "Do!" That was his alarm clock. Ti is the leading tone. ;-)
