This series is: Whole, Whole, Half, Whole, Whole, Whole, Half.
A whole step is considered to be a movement of two pitches up. For instance, a C to a D is a whole step because the C was moved two pitches up: C sharp and then D.
A half step is a movement of one pitch up. For example, a C to a C sharp is a half step. Also, an E to an F is a half step because there is no pitch in between. B to C is also a half step as there is no pitch in between.
The pitches with sharps are: C, C sharp, D, D sharp, E, F, F sharp, G, G sharp, A, A sharp, B, C, ...
The pitches with flats are: C, D flat, D, E flat, E, F, G flat, G, A flat, A, B flat, B, C, ...
So for a C major scale (which starts and ends on C) keeping in mind the order of whole and half steps would be:
C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C
The G major scale has to have a sharp to keep the series of whole and half steps.
G, A, B, C, D, E, F sharp, G Scales have sharps and flats to maintain the balance of the scale (the whole and half steps). Notes denoted with sharps or flats are as important as any other notes. Every note is a pitch and equally important when constructing scales.
Each scale requires a sequence of 7 different pitches (some may be "sharps" or "flats".
Early in the process of writing music down, the crosshatch, or "tic-tac-toe" board was decided upon as the symbol for raising a note's pitch 1/2 tone. The flat, rather like a stylized letter "b" was used to designate a note lowered by 1/2 tone. However, the terminology of calling a note raised by a half-tone "sharp", or calling a note lowered by a half-tone "flatted" is almost as old as written music itself.
The sharp, flat and natural signs are known as accidentals when used within musical notation. The combination of sharps or flats, when applied at the beginning of a stave of music, are known as the key signature.
Accidentals
They are called "accidentals". This also includes naturals (which make a sharp or flat note in the key signature not sharp or flat for that measure).
Nope, sharps arre sharps, flats are flats, and naturals are naturals.
that is called the key signature.
There are no flats or sharps. Its relative major scale is C major, which has all of the same notes.
A chromatic scale will, by definition, have sharps and/or flats.
Sharps and flats in music are called accidentals; this also includes naturals.
At the beginning of the piece, there will be one to seven sharps or flats. This tells you the sharps or flats that will be used unless otherwise noted. If there are no sharps or flats, then there will be no sharps or flats unless otherwise noted.
C major and A minor both have no sharps or flats.
sharps and minors sharps and FLATS. minor is a kind of scale.
C Major
C major has no sharps or flats.
Up to 2 sharps or flats.
They are called "accidentals". This also includes naturals (which make a sharp or flat note in the key signature not sharp or flat for that measure).
C Major, zero flats and zero sharps. The minor scale with the same number of flats and sharps is A Minor.
Nope, sharps arre sharps, flats are flats, and naturals are naturals.
