Okay, next I will show you how the black keys correspond to the white keys. As I showed
you before in the mus, the musical alphabet, when we started with C, C, the scale of C
is all white keys, so we didn't use any of those black keys. Now to show you how the
black keys correspond, I will begin, I'll play a A major scale, okay? So we'll begin
with A. One will be A, two will be B, and then the third note will be C sharp, which
is a black key, okay? The fourth note will be D, fifth note will be E, Six will be F
sharp; another black key, and then the next note will be G sharp, another black key. And
then to complete the octave, we'll hit A again; it's the eighth note, okay? Now, if you notice
the black keys; what makes it sharp or flat, I don't know if you heard that before; say
for example, if we're at G, the note of G. You notice there's a black key to the left
of it, and a black key to the right of it, okay? Now, if I play this black key right
behind G, to the left of G, that would be G flat in relation to G, okay? You also notice
that it's to the right of our F key, okay? So that makes it also F sharp, so F sharp,
and G flat will be the same note, okay? Now if you notice to the right of G, that would
be G sharp, okay. If you're moving forward, or to the right it's sharp; backwards it is
flat, okay? If you notice, right next to G we have our A note, okay? To the left of it,
if we, if we're moving to the left of A it would be A flat. If we're moving forward it
would be A sharp, okay? Now, for example, B and C are close together. There's no black
key separating them, so if you're playing B, and you want to play say B sharp, it would
just be C since there's no black key. And we'll, and that's the end of the musical alphabet.
