In western music there are 12 different pitches.

Each octave has a set of 12 different notes. These include the following:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

A A# B C C# D D# E F F# G G#

Each note has a sharp except B and E. The sharps make up 5 of the 12 total notes. The other 7 notes, which are neutral, are the ones used in Western music.

A B C D E F G
