They will only put it at the beginning of each row so its important to remember what keys have certain sharps and certain flats.Ī natural is another symbol that you have to know.Ī natural sign tells you when to take a note that is normally sharped or flatted and make it the natural note instead. This is important because they don’t put the sharps and flats next to the notes every time they want you to play it. This tells you how many sharps and flats you have to play in that key.įor example, if you are in the key of G the staff paper will tell you that every time an F is to be played you must play an F# instead. To determine when to play these flats and sharps you have to look at the key signature. ![]() Both a sharp and flat sign are pictured below. When a note is sharp it will be represented by a symbol that looks like a number sign. When a note or pitch is said to be flat it will be represented on musical notation with a symbol that is similar to a lower case b. The same goes for a note that is raised or higher by a half step is sharp. When a note becomes lower in pitch by a semitone or “half step”, it is flat. But when a note become to far flat or sharp it now becomes a new note. Most people, when it comes to listening to pitch cant tell the difference in a sightly sharp or flat note. On the other hand if they were a bit higher than G they are said to be sharp. When a note is raised it is sharp.įor example, if a person is singing a song and the note they are to be singing is supposed to be a G, but they are slightly lower than that G they are said to be singing flat. When a note goes down or gets lowered it is said to be flat. Flats and sharps are important in music because they tell us when a note or a tone is lowered or raised. ![]()
