eg F# to F Order of Flats in a Key Signature


If a sharpened note has a natural sign next to it it goes down in pitch. If a flattened note has a natural sign next to it it goes up in pitch. (She is just making sure that you know it is not Ab or A#.)ĭid you notice that we say "A flat" but the flat sign is actually written before the note not after it? If someone uses the term natural eg "A natural" - it is the same as saying A. Make sure you know the difference and you can write them too - you might want to write one on your music one day. It not only affects the note it is next to but any other notes after it in the same bar (measure).Ī natural sign looks a bit like a sharp sign. This changes the note from the given key signature. An accidental is a note that has a flat, sharp or natural sign next to it.
