the musical pitch A, which is a specific note in the diatonic scale commonly used in Western music

What is "A"?

In music, the pitch "A" is a specific note that is used as a reference point for tuning and playing. It is one of the twelve notes in the musical scale and is represented by the letter "A". Each "A" note can be higher or lower in pitch depending on the octave. For example, "A4" is a common reference pitch that vibrates at 440 Hertz and is often used to tune musical instruments. This note helps musicians keep their music in tune and create harmonious sounds.

What is "key"?

In music, the term "key" refers to the group of notes and chords that form the basis of a musical piece. A key is defined by a specific starting note, called the tonic, and includes a set of related notes that are used to create melodies and harmonies. For example, the key of C-major starts on the note C and uses a set of notes that are based on the C-major scale. The key helps to establish the overall mood and tonal center of the music, guiding how the notes and chords interact to create a cohesive sound.

natural

a symbol that cancels the effect of a sharp or flat, restoring the pitch of a note to its original state

What is a "natural"?

In music, a natural is a symbol that indicates a note should be played without any sharp or flat alteration. It is represented by a square with two vertical and two horizontal lines extending from the corners (♮). The natural sign cancels any previous sharps or flats applied to a note within a piece of music. For example, if a note has been previously sharpened or flattened, placing a natural sign before it will return the note to its original, unaltered pitch. This helps to ensure that the music is played as intended by the composer.

What is an "octave"?

An octave is the interval between one musical pitch and another pitch that is either double or half its frequency. In simple terms, it is the distance between two notes with the same name but at different pitches. For example, if you play a C note, the next C note higher or lower is an octave away. The sound of these notes is perceived as very similar, though one is higher or lower than the other. Octaves are fundamental in music for creating harmony and structure, and they help in organizing the musical scale.

A chord is a group of three or more musical notes played together simultaneously. These notes are typically chosen to create a harmonious sound, and they work together to form the basis of harmony in a piece of music. For example, a basic chord might include a root note, a third, and a fifth note, creating a rich sound that supports melodies. Chords are used to provide structure and emotion in music, and they help to define the harmonic framework of a song or composition.

What is a "sharp"?

A sharp is a musical symbol that raises the pitch of a note by one half step, or one semitone. It is represented by the symbol "♯", which looks like a hashtag or pound sign. For example, if a note is C, placing a sharp in front of it changes it to C♯, which is slightly higher in pitch. Sharps are used to modify notes in music to achieve desired tonal effects and to fit within specific musical keys and scales.

double sharp

a musical symbol that indicates the raising of a note by two half steps or two semitones, equivalent to the same note as a natural but two half steps higher

What is a "double sharp"?

A double sharp is a musical symbol that indicates a note should be raised by two half steps, or two semitones. It is represented by an "x" or by placing two sharp symbols (♯♯) before the note. For example, if the note is F, applying a double sharp would change it to F♯♯, which sounds the same as G. Double sharps are used to adjust the pitch of a note more significantly than a single sharp, and they are often found in complex musical passages or specific key signatures.

What is a "half step"?

A half step, also known as a semitone, is the smallest distance between two pitches in Western music. It represents the move from one key to the very next key on a piano keyboard, whether black or white. For example, the move from C to C♯ or from E to F is a half step. In musical notation, a half step raises or lowers a note by the smallest possible amount, and it is important for defining scales, chords, and harmonies.

A ledger line is a short, horizontal line added above or below the staff to extend its range and indicate notes that are too high or too low to be written on the standard five lines. For example, if a note is higher than the top line of the staff, it will be placed on a ledger line above the staff. Similarly, notes lower than the bottom line are written on ledger lines below the staff. Ledger lines help musicians read and play notes that fall outside the regular staff range, ensuring that all pitches can be accurately notated.

An octave clef is a musical symbol used to indicate that the notes written on the staff should be played one octave higher or lower than their written pitch. This clef is often used to make music easier to read by shifting the pitch range to fit better on the staff. The octave clef does not have a standard symbol like the treble or bass clefs; instead, it is represented by an "8" written above or below the clef sign. For example, an 8 above the treble clef indicates that the notes should be played an octave higher than written, while an 8 below the bass clef indicates that the notes should be played an octave lower.

Tablature, often called "tab", is a form of musical notation used primarily for stringed instruments like guitar and bass. Instead of showing notes on a staff, tablature uses a series of horizontal lines representing the strings of the instrument. Numbers on these lines indicate which frets should be pressed to play specific notes. This system provides a straightforward way for musicians to read and play music, especially for those who may not be familiar with traditional musical notation. Tablature helps players learn songs and riffs by showing exactly where to place their fingers on the instrument.

What is a "beam"?

In music notation, a beam is a horizontal or slanted line that connects the stems of multiple noteheads. Beams are used to group together shorter note values, such as eighth notes, sixteenth notes, and shorter, into a cohesive rhythmic unit. For example, a beam might connect a series of eighth notes or sixteenth notes to show that they are part of the same beat or subdivision. Beams help clarify the rhythm and make it easier to read and interpret the notes in a passage.

What is a "dotted note"?

A dotted note is a musical symbol where a dot is placed directly after the notehead. This dot increases the duration of the note by half of its original value. For example, a dotted quarter note lasts for one and a half beats, as the dot adds half of the value of a quarter note, which is one beat, to the note's length. Dotted notes help create longer and more varied rhythmic patterns, providing more flexibility in musical timing.

What is a "tie"?

A tie is a musical symbol that connects two notes of the same pitch, indicating that they should be played as a single, continuous note. It is represented by a curved line placed above or below the notes that are to be joined. The tie combines the durations of the connected notes, so if a note is tied from one measure to the next, the performer holds the note for the total combined length without rearticulating it. This helps create a smooth, uninterrupted sound and allows for longer note values across measure boundaries.

For example, in common time (4/4), a whole note lasts for four beats, a half note lasts for two beats, and a quarter note lasts for one beat. Note values help musicians understand the rhythm and timing of a piece of music.
