Piano Keys



We need to start the music theory sharps with the notes that are used in modern music. There are 7 basic note names.  

The 7 note names are:

A    B    C    D    E    F    G


 These notes are repeated over and over again on the staff or a keyboard and modified for chord or scale conditions. We will use an octave of the keyboard to explore sharps and flats.

There are 7 base note names can each  also be called a sharp (#) or a flat (b).  
The sharps and flats are shown on the staff lines with these symbols.
Also note that the when you identify a sharp or flat that with in a measure if you what to go back to the natural note then you use the symbol (natural-sign) here we show an example of this on the master staff. See where the natural sign was used? It took the B flat note and made it a B natural.
