Clarifies everything I was confused about...thank you for the great explanations and the organized drawings/writings. Thank you!

Great basic explanation. I’m very slow learner and easily confused, if I can understand this you’ve done amazing! And I do.

Excellent and thorough. Glad you specified that accidentals are notes OUTSIDE of the key signature. There are many music educators who refer to the sharps/flats in a key signature as "accidentals," likely because they were taught that "accidentals" were simply sharps, flats, and naturals. Sometimes they are, but sometimes they're not. Context matters.

It would be good to advise that accidentals only affect the same octave

This was great, thanks, I have been researching "beginner reading music notes piano" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Foonlant Dumbstruck Formula - (just google it ) ? It is a smashing one of a kind product for discovering how to teach your child to read music notes without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my colleague got cool success with it.

What do you mean that they only affect the same octave? I don't understand

Quick review of accidentals, very helpful. Thank you!

Very simple, easy to follow and fills in much needed elements too commonly assumed

Oh boy the hyper rare half flats. Nice video I didn’t even know what a natural was but now it’s all pretty clear. Learning to play them though is a whole nother thing, time to practice :)

Thank you so much for helping me for my Assignment its super hard and you made it mor easier!💖

Simple, Straight without any bla bla... Thank you so much.

Neat, as you say, the accidentals add a little spice to the music. Pure scale music sounds a bit "flat". Thank you for sharing. :)

And because each octave has two pairs of adjacent white semitone keys, each of these notes become each other's accidentals.

That is such a clear but thorough explanation

Thank you, it helped me a lot to study for my quiz

1. **Accidentals:** - *Definition:* Accidentals are symbols in music notation that alter the pitch of a note. - *Types:* - **Sharp (♯):** Raises the pitch of a note by a half step. - **Flat (♭):** Lowers the pitch of a note by a half step. - **Natural (♮):** Cancels the effect of a sharp or flat. 2. **Use of Accidentals:** - *Key Signature:* Accidentals appear in the key signature to establish the tonal framework of a piece. - *Within Measures:* Accidentals can be used within measures to temporarily alter the pitch of specific notes. 3. **Key Signatures:** - *Definition:* Key signatures indicate the key of a piece and specify which notes are to be consistently played as sharp or flat. - *Relationship with Accidentals:* Key signatures and accidentals work together to define the tonality of a composition. 4. **Enharmonics:** - *Definition:* Enharmonic equivalents are two notes that sound the same but are written differently (e.g., F♯ and G♭). - *Accidentals in Enharmonics:* Accidentals are essential in understanding and notating enharmonic relationships. 5. **Double Sharps and Double Flats:** - *Occurrence:* In some cases, a note may be raised or lowered by two half steps, requiring a double sharp (𝄪) or double flat (𝄫). - *Uncommon Usage:* Double accidentals are relatively rare but are used in specific musical contexts.

I actually am confused with accidental. I read sheet music for about 5 years but I am still confused with those accidentals if how long they really last. This explained everything.

I don’t know why my teacher doesn’t explain it this easy 😂 you literally saved my grade thank you!

I appreciate your explanation on these accidental notes! 🙏🏼😊👏🏼

Thank you! Now I understand what I didn’t know , I’ve learned in 5 mins!

just great - thanks for the alto clef

Sooo, if you got both treble and bass clef (for example piano), if you see an accidental in a bar of a treble clef, does the accidental also affect the bass clef too?

@Oddquartet

4 жыл бұрын

Great question! Accidentals only affect notes horizontally, not vertically. Let's say you have a G-sharp on the second line of a treble clef, that would not affect any Gs in the bass clef OR any other Gs higher in the treble clef. ONLY the second line Gs would be affected for that measure.

"Accidentals are like the Sriracha of Music". BEST. IDEA. EVER. XX

Great explanation of accidentals! Thank you.

Oh god the intro was so funny!

Questions if you see a cancel sign on the flat aren't you supposed to cancel all the Flats on that line until the next staff like the new staff starting I'm a little confused when you have a cancel sign for the B-flat aren't all the B Flats on that ledger line can supposed to be cancelled and you play the note natural?

Love this!

1:55 Okay, so these symbols make the music sound like it’s a song from the ‘70s or ‘80s. Right?

Thank you,great explanations!!

i have a question why do i see accidentals on the beggining but theres not a note on that line throughout the piece ?? can anyone answer pls

If the note on the F clef is in sharp or flat doea it affecta the note in the g clef? Ler say on the key signature of Bb in whuch the B and E is in flat, if the f clef has an F# then doea it goes the same way on the F on the G clef? What is the note ? Is it F# or just an F ?

Great explanation, top lad!

This video helped so muh thank you!!!

The reason they are called "accidentals", goes all the way back to the early Christian church, where the playing of anything other than whole/natural notes was considered sinful, if the organist or other church musicians, were caught playing other than natural notes, they stated their playing that note was an accident.

if a key is flat in the signature, does that mean every key for that note on the piano is played flat of just the one on the key signature? like if you have b flat does the one an octave higher or lower have to be played flat too??

@Oddquartet

3 жыл бұрын

Great question. Yes, every key for that note is played flat. If you have a B flat in the key, then all of the Bs are flat no matter what octave they are in.

Pretty simple n neat.. Got what I came for, T for Thanks

Double flats and double sharps confuse me, not in concept, but why would you use a double sharp, instead of just using the note a tone higher? Like G## and A are the same note, so why not just use A?

2:20 why sharp and flats exist? We can just write the b flat as a sharp right?

You say that they last until the end of the measure. Does that mean that if a measure was two B quarter notes, the first with a natural sign, both would be b natural?

Can accidentals affect the next notes that don't have the simbol?

@Oddquartet

Good question. Yes! Any note on the same line or space of the accidental is also affected. This only lasts until the end of the measure.

great! but you didn't mention the rule about accidentals effecting the rest of the measure.

If the key signature is F and the first b is marked natural is the second b in the same measure also natural or flat?

@Oddquartet

Great question. The second b is natural if it is on the same line or space as the first. If the second b is in a different octave up/down, then it will be flat.

Wow nice tutor🌿🌿🌿❤️❤️😀🎹🎹

Great thank you!

Ahem one question what if there is a half note and a sharp note is it just the same answer if it's a normal note

If there was a natural in one bar and in that one bar there other two flats in front, so are those also going to be natural?

@jessicalatorraca8507

No, just from the accidental through the end of the measure

what if the key signature has flats or sharps? when notating an accidental in that case, does it matter if your accidental is notated as flat or sharp?

@Oddquartet

3 жыл бұрын

Good question. Accidentals do not have to match the key signature. So you can have a key signature that's all flats and have an accidental in the music that is a sharp. Hope this helps.

A half flat and a half sharp? How do you even play this?
