White notes (seven of them) are directly named from the seven letters, sound syllables, and numbers, while black notes are named using pitch-modifiers like sharps and flats (and we&#8217;ll talk about them in a future lesson).<\/p>\n<h2><em>&#8220;Let&#8217;s Take A Look At How The Letter System Works&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>The letter system features the use of alphabets and we&#8217;re basically using the first seven alphabets:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A, B, C, D, E, F, and G<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The note below is C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,,&amp;color=99FF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;followed by D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,,&amp;color=99FF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,,,&amp;color=99FF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;then F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,,,&amp;color=99FF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,,,&amp;color=99FF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,,,&amp;color=99FF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,,,&amp;color=99FF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><em>&#8220;&#8230;Then The Sol-fa System&#8221;<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>In the sol-fa system, notes are represented using sound syllables that were derived from an old hymn to St. John and time would not permit me to take you way back into the history.<\/p>\n<p>But, here are the syllables:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, and ti<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;seven of them!<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>do<\/strong> sound syllable is assigned to C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,,&amp;color=99FF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe <strong>re<\/strong> sound syllable is assigned to D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,,&amp;color=99FF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe <strong>mi <\/strong>sound syllable is assigned to E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,,,&amp;color=99FF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe <strong>fa <\/strong>sound syllable is assigned to F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,,,&amp;color=99FF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe <strong>sol <\/strong>sound syllable is assigned to G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,,,&amp;color=99FF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe <strong>la <\/strong>sound syllable is assigned to A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,,,&amp;color=99FF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe <strong>ti <\/strong>sound syllable is assigned to B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,,,&amp;color=99FF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are sol-fa names for black notes and they are also derived from the seven sol-fa names you already learned.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be getting back to these other sol-fa names in subsequent lessons.

However, I guarantee you that knowing all these naming systems will give you an edge over other musicians who just know one of the naming systems.<\/p>\n<p>See you in the next
