first : basic musical tones on the piano keys :
C - D - E - F - G - A - B
Next video will explain it better to you :
second : Musician measurement :
if you want to know the distance between tow places of course you will use “ meter “
but if you want to know the distance between tow keys you will use “ tone “
the distance between any key and the next one “ even thaw it was black key “ is 1/2 tone
so the distance between C key and D key = 1 Tone
the distance between E key and F key = 1/2 Tone
if you really anded stand what that mean you can tell me the distance between C And F !! ( leave it in comment )
so now i think that you want to ask me about the black keys
to know how we call a black key and how can we write it on Staff you must know about tow signs will be very important to you :
Flat - Bémol |
|
first one is “ Flat “ and it means “ before “ or “ the key subtract 1/2 tone ".. so if we want to call the black key before D we can say ( D Flat )
second one is “ Sharp “ and it means “ After “ or “ the key Plus 1/2 tone “ so if we want to call the black key After D we can say ( D Sharp )
and there is other secondary signs in eastern music :
Half-flat |
first one is “ Half Flat “ and it means “ 1/4 before “ or “ the key subtract 1/4 tone ".. so if we want to call the 1/4 Tone ( not a key because it’s not on the piano keys but we can get it on other instruments like violin ) before D we can say ( D Half Flat )
Natural |
second one is “ Natural “ and it means “ 1/4 After “ or “ the key Plus 1/4 tone “ so if we want to call the the 1/4 Tone ( not a key because it’s not on the piano keys but we can get it on other instruments like violin ) After D we can say ( D Natural )
so now you can tell me the keys that don’t have a Flat key !!
and also the kew that don’t have Sharp key !!
