What do the symbols in a key signature mean?
A key signature is a visual symbol, printed on a musical staff, that indicates what key a section of music is written in. Key signatures are represented by using accidentals—better known as sharps and flats. The number of sharps or flats indicated in the key signature will tell the player what key the music is in.
What is B natural on the piano?
B is a white key on the piano. It is called natural when an accidental instance of that note has already been indicated on the key signature or on the staff, (eg. B# or Bb), and that accidental needs to be cancelled, so the sharp or flat is not needed for the current note. The next note up from B is C.
How do you explain sharps and flats?
A sharp sign means “the note that is one half step higher than the natural note”. A flat sign means “the note that is one half step lower than the natural note”. Some of the natural notes are only one half step apart, but most of them are a whole step apart.
