Note that not only B’s that are on the 3rd line of the staff become Bb’s. Now, the same song can be displayed as follows: We put the flat sign in the beginning, between the clef and the time signature. Wouldn’t it be much easier to say at the beginning of the song that every B should be seen as a Bb? Well, that’s exactly what is normally done. When I would display also the rest of the song, you would see even more B flats appear. And that’s exactly what happens, have a look at the next line in this song: You would expect this Bb to occur even more often in the melody. That’s normal, since F major has a flat note in its scale, the Bb! You see that the melody has one flat note, the Bb.
Have a look at the next melody, which is in the key of F major: If we want to cancel the flat sign for a certain note in the same measure, you can apply the same natural sign as with the sharp notes. The flat sign is only valid within the measure where it is used. The sharp sign from the first measure is not anymore valid in the second measure.īut what if I wanted to have F# G A F in the first measure? In that case, we have the natural sign, that cancels the sharp sign before the first note: The notes in the second measure are: F G A F. So, the last note in the first measure is an F#, not an F. The notes in the first measure are: F# G A F#. In the next example, I’ll explain this in more detail (btw, the staff is in treble clef): Important is that this sharp or flat sign is only valid from the moment the sign is displayed till the end of the measure you’re in. How to write a sharp note in a staff? It’s really simple: just put the sharp sign (#) before the note.įor a flat note, just write the flat sign ( b) before the note: In the treble clef and bass clef lessons, you learned how to read and write the ‘white key notes’, the ones without sharps or flats how to write sharps and flats in sheet music?
