Musical Notes

In music, there are only 12 notes (# stands for "sharp", b stands for "flat") :



|1.A 2.A# (or Bb) 3.B 4.C 5.C# (or Db) 6.D 7.D# (or Eb) 8.E 9.F 10.F# (or Gb) 11.G 12.G# (or Ab)|



As you can see, neither B nor E have a "#" and neither C nor F have a "b".
This will become more clear when we get to the scale.


This is also called the "chromatic" scale.
