So what are the Notes???
Notes are universal standardized sounds produced by playing any instrument.
There are seven notes in the music and they are represented by the first seven alphabets.
A, B, C, D, E, F, and G.
Every note has its half note except B and E. Now what is half note? The half notes are denoted by the symbols (#) sharp and (b) flat and they are called as Enharmonic notes. For example A’s half note is A# and C’s half note is C# and so on.
B#/Cb and E#/Fb don’t exist.
So the notes in the music using (#)sharp as a half note are - A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G# and the notes in the music using (b)flat as a half note are - A, Bb, B, C, Cb, D ,Db , E, F, Gb, G, Ab.
There is no difference in A# and Bb and C# and Db, as they are the different names of the same note and so on.
So the notes in the music are - A, A#/Bb, B, C, C#/Db, D, D#/Eb, E, F, F#/Gb, G, G#/Ab.
There are twelve notes in music which includes half notes as well. These notes go chromatically in any musical instrument.
