If you think about it, it makes sense. when you divide a whole number (call that number X) by any number less than it(call that Z), the quotient (answer) is smaller than the first number. For example, 10/2=5, 12/4=3. Also, the lower the Z number is (ignoring if it were 1), the higher the quotient is. Therefore, since fractions are lower than 0, the quotient will be higher than the X number.
A sharp or an acute angle is an angle that is less than 90 degrees in measurement.
G is half a note higher than F#. The full scale is C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B C
When the decimal is lower tha .5, you round down. When the decimal is higher than .51, you round up. 4.49 is rounded down to 4.
It depends: If the whole number is positive then the result is less than the whole number, eg ½ × 2 = 1 < 2 If the whole number is negative then the result is greater than the whole number, eg ½ × -2 = -1 > -2
A sharp means the note is slightly higher. They say it's a "half step" higher because a half step is the smallest amount of movement you can have in Western music.A flat is the same in the opposite direction: it's a half step lower.For example, "G flat" would be lower than "G", and "G" would be lower than "G sharp"BONUS: the sharp sign can be typed "#", and flat sign can be typed with a lowercase "b". The above sentence would read: "Gb" would be lower than "G", and "G" would be lower than "G#"
Generally, the sharp and flat signs are known as accidentals. They alter the pitch of the note. As an example, D sharp is a half-step higher than D where D flat is a half step lower.
F sharp and G flat are the same. F sharp is a half octave up from a F and a G flat is a half octave lower than a G.
G# is one semitone lower than A.
I will assume you are talking about a major scale on a piano, and the scales other than C major. (Similar answer for minor scales other than A minor.)A major scale sounds the way it does because of the pattern of half-steps and whole-steps. A C scale has half-steps between E and F; and between B and C. But suppose you start on a different note--D, for example. D to E is a whole step (so far so good). for the second to third, you need another whold step, and that takes you to F sharp. After the third is a half-step, shich puts you on G natural, then whole to A, whole to B; but from the sixth to seventh, a whole step puts you an C sharp. Finally, the half-step back to the root puts you on D natural.
B
A flat is a symbol at the beginning of the staff which indicates the names of the lines and spaces where the note is intended to be a half step lower than the line would otherwise indicate. A sharp would be half a step higher than the line would indicate. For instance, if your register has a flat symbol on the line that indicates a B should be played it means that the composer intended the note to be 1/2 step lower than the pitch perfect B, in other words the composer wanted a B flat played, not a B. when someone is flat in music it means they're singing in a lower pitch than they are supposed to
There are a total of seven sharps and seven flats. However, in different key signatures there are different numbers of sharps and flats (not all have seven sharps or seven flats)! Another thing to note is that a key signature can only have sharps or only have flats (they never mix- at least not in the key signature). Or they can have no sharps or flats, as in the case of C Major and A minor.
Yes it is.The third is flattened (one half step lower) in a minor scale.
No. E-flat is one half step LOWER than E.
E natural and F natural are a half step away. With accidental marks like # and b, they tell you to either move up or down a half step. There's another two, but I can't show them on this answer thing. But those are the only ones that make you move up or down a whole step.So, Fb would be moving down a half step. Move down a half step and you've got E natural.
Sharps are the note one semitone higher than a given natural note, for example, D-sharp is one semitone higherthan D.Flats are the note one semitone lower than a given natural note, so D-flat is one semitone lower than D.Natural signs get rid of a previous sharp or flat in the same bar, or raises or lowers a sharp or flat already included in the key signature - e.g. the F-sharp in G major.Sharps and flats can be modified further too - resulting in a double sharp or double flat - which means that any double sharp or double flat will be a whole tone higher or lower than a given natural note, for example, D double-sharp would be the same key as E and D double-flat would be the same as C. Again a natural sign would get rid of the double flat or sharp.Sometimes natural keys have to be named as either sharp or flat, e.g. in C-sharp minor the seventh degree is B, but we have to raise B to B-sharp to create a C-sharp harmonic minor scale, which uses a raised seventh. Now we could call the B-sharp 'C' but that would not be correct as we need to use all letter names in a diatonic scale, and technically the C is functioning as a raised B in the key or C-sharp minor.
