These &#8220;numbered&#8221; degrees are what we call scale tones (or you can call them &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scale tones<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script>,&#8221; whatever you want frankly).<\/p>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s cover our little friends called &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sharps<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script>&#8221; and &#8220;flats.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A sharp is not a black key.<br \/>\nA flat is not a black key.<\/p>\n<p>Rather, to &#8220;sharp&#8221; something means to raise it.<br \/>\nTo &#8220;flat&#8221; something means to lower it.<\/p>\n<p>(I guess I should define another term&#8230; a &#8220;half step&#8221; is from key to key with absolutely NO keys in between. A &#8220;whole step&#8221; ALWAYS skips a key with one key always in between).<\/p>\n<p>Plain and simple.<\/p>\n<p>When you see a &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flat<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script>&#8221; sign (b) in front of a scale tone, that means to lower that tone one half step.<\/p>\n<p>So if I say &#8220;the 3rd tone of C,&#8221; I&#8217;m referring to E because E is, indeed, the third tone of C.<\/p>\n<p>C D (E) F G A B C = C major scale<\/p>\n<p>If I say the b3 (&#8220;flat third&#8221; or &#8220;flatted third&#8221;) of C, then it would be E flat (Eb).<\/p>\n<p>I simply take the same third tone and lower it a half step.<\/p>\n<p>C D (Eb) F G A B C (believe it or not, this is actually the <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">C melodic minor scale<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script>.)<\/p>\n<p>I hope this helps!<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n***********************<br \/>\nJudy&#8217;s Follow Up Question<br \/>\n***********************<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thank you for your help.
