I actually played for twelve years before I discovered these notes; believe it or not, there are several people out there who do not know that these notes are on the piano.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Submission:<\/strong> Before I discovered these notes on the piano, I used their enharmonic equivalents.<strong> <\/strong>The term <em>enharmonic equivalent<\/em> means an alternate spelling for a note on the keyboard. For example,<\/p>\n<p>C#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Cs,&amp;color=339900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the enharmonic equivalent of Db:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,&amp;color=339900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAlright! Let&#8217;s get started by taking a look at notes.<\/p>\n<h2>An Overview Of Notes<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>A note is a musical sound of a precise [or definite] pitch.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A pitch can be defined as the degree of highness or lowness of a music sound. Scales, intervals, chords, chord-progressions, and songs are products of the organization of definite pitches (aka &#8211; &#8220;notes&#8221;.)<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/first-day-chrismas-one-octave\">octave<\/a> is divided into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/twelve-pitch-classes\">twelve equal parts<\/a> and each part is known as a <em>half step<\/em> (aka &#8211; &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/introduction-melodic-progressions-semitone-wholetone-redefined\">semitone<\/a>&#8220;) therefore, twelve half steps make one octave. Within the compass of the octave, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/twelve-pitch-classes\">twelve pitch classes<\/a>; seven of them are naturals while five of them are accidentals.<\/p>\n<p>The naturals are white on the piano and there are seven of them:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,&amp;color=339900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;in one octave:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,C&amp;color=339900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAccidentals are black on the piano and there are five of them:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Cs,Ds,Fs,Gs,As,&amp;color=339900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;in one octave:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,C&amp;color=339900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe naturals are named using Roman alphabets. Due to the fact that there are seven naturals, seven alphabets are used &#8211; A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. The letter names of the accidentals are derived from the pitch modification of natural notes.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s talk about pitch modification before we proceed.<\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;What Is Pitch Modification?&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Pitch modification is the raising or lowering of the pitch of a note using symbols known as pitch modifiers. A pitch modifier is a symbol that raises the pitch of a note and there are five pitch modifiers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The sharp<\/li>\n<li>The flat<\/li>\n<li>The natural<\/li>\n<li>The double flat<\/li>\n<li>The double sharp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>&#8220;Here&#8217;s what they (pitch modifiers) do to pitches&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>The sharp<\/strong> raises a note by a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">half step<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The flat<\/strong> lowers the pitch of a note by a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">half step<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The natural<\/strong> restores the pitch of a note that is either raised or lowered.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The double-sharp<\/strong> raises the pitch of a note by a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">whole step<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The double-flat<\/strong> lowers the pitch of a note by a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">whole step<\/span>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>These pitch modifiers are used to name notes on the keyboard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Sharp Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For instance, raising the pitch of C:<br

the keyboard so many years ago, however, my knowledge of pitch modification wasn&#8217;t absolute and I can say that because there are four notes I never knew they were on the piano until 2008.<\/p>\n<h2>Four Notes I Never They Were On The Piano Until 2008<\/h2>\n<p>There are notes that have pitch modifiers attached to their letter name. Here are three examples of such notes&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>C#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Cs,&amp;color=339900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;Ab:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ab,&amp;color=339900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;Bb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,&amp;color=339900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Attention:<\/strong> Take note that these letter names that have a pitch modifier attached to them are black notes. Consequently, it&#8217;s possible to generalize that sharp and flat notes are black notes and I was a victim of such generalization.<\/p>\n<p>In the last segment, we learned how black notes are named using pitch modification.<\/p>\n<p>Notwithstanding that black notes are referred to as <em>&#8220;<\/em><em>sharps and flats&#8221;<\/em>, there are also white notes on the piano that also have pitch modifiers attached to their names, and I knew nothing about these notes until 2008.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Submission:<\/strong> I regret not being able to share with you on the circumstances that led to my discovery of these notes.<\/p>\n<h3>#1 &#8211; E sharp<\/h3>\n<p>Raising the pitch of E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,&amp;color=339900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;by a half step takes you to its adjacent note known as E# (which is a white note.)<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, taking E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,&amp;color=339900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;up by a half step produces E#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Es,&amp;color=339900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nE#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Es,&amp;color=339900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is one common letter name that a vast majority of musicians know little or nothing about because it&#8217;s enharmonically equivalent to F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,&amp;color=339900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe term <em>enharmonic equivalence<\/em> has to do with the relationship between notes that differ in spelling, but share the same pitch on the piano. E# and F is an example of enharmonic equivalence.<\/p>\n<h3>#2 &#8211; F Flat<\/h3>\n<p>Fb is another note that I never knew was on the keyboard until 2008.<\/p>\n<p>Lowering the pitch of F:<br

keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>Although Fb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fb,&amp;color=339900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br

enharmonically equivalent or related, nothing about the former was known to me until 2008.<\/p>\n<h3>#3 &#8211; B Sharp<\/h3>\n<p>The pitch modification of B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,&amp;color=339900&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;using the sharp symbol (#), raises its pitch by a half step to B# (which is not a black note this time.)<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, raising B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\"

believed that C (which is everyone&#8217;s landmark note on the piano) is enharmonically related to any other note.<\/p>\n<h3>#4 &#8211; C Flat<\/h3>\n<p>Lowering the pitch of C:<br \/>\n<img
