Sheet Music Digital Lesson #19 - A Flat Sign


	Remember in lesson 18 that we said if you go to the very next key up, white or black, you are said to be going up a half-step? Look at the example below and see how C to B is a half-step down because the very next note down, white or black from C, is B.

If we then start on B and move a half-step down,
it is actually the black note immediately left of B.

So what should we call this note that is 1/2 step down from B?

We call it B flat...read below and it will be explained!

Here is a picture of a flat sign.

When you see this sign it means that the note immediately
right of this sign is to be played one half-step down.
The easiest way to remember this is to think that when you get a flat tire,
the tire goes down, and so do flats!

A flat sign is always immediately left of the note.

Here are the names of the flat keys!
