What are the names of the notes in music?

Answer 1

There are:

• Whole notes - semibreve - 4 beats
• Half notes - minim - 2 beats
• Quarter notes - crotchet - 1 beat
• Eighth notes - quaver - half a beat
• Sixteenth notes - semiquaver - a quarter beat
• A demisemiquaver is half of a semiquaver, and a hemidemisemiquaver is half of a demisemiquaver. These terms really do exist.
• Each of the above notes may also be expanded by the addition of a dot, which would extend its length by half its value. For example, a dotted crotchet is one and a half beats. A dotted minim is worth three beats.

In addition, there is the breve, which is rarely used.

Regarding pitch, there are eight notes in any goven octave, and a total of twelve notes in music: C, C#/Db, D, D#/Eb, E, F, F#/Gb, G, G#/Ab, A, A#/Bb, and B.

Answer 2

It depends on what instrument you are talking about and what exactly you mean by the word "notes". I play piano and the notes are A B C D E F G. Overall in music, notes tell the musician what pitches to play to make a song. But like I said, it depends on the instrument.

A B C D E F and G with the five additional black (flat/sharp) notes, which can be called different names depending on what "key" you are in.

The German musical notation system uses the eighth letter "H" for the note B and "B" for B-flat.

Of course, the word "notes" means several thing. Notes can also refer to the symbols used in music: the whole note, the half note, the quarter note, eigth note and sixteenth note - which all get different durations depending on their shape. Notes are also refered to in a system called solfege, which is not key specific and those notes are called: do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do (and many variations).

Answer 3

There are 12 notes in music.

The first seven notes are given the letter labels A, B, C, D, E, F and G. These notes are related to the 7 major scale used as the basis of most Western music. For example, the C major scale is C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C.

However, that scale is created by a series of one and 2 step intervals. Where there are 2 steps between the above notes, the step in between is named as a sharp or flat note in relation to its adjacent notes. For example, there are 2 steps between C and D, so the note between them will be either C sharp or D flat (Which name is used depends on context, and is derived from the principles used to write notes on a music staff in sheet music).

The "2 step pairs" are C-D, C-E, F-G, G-A, A-B. This creates another 5 notes. So the 12 note names in music are:

C

C sharp (or D flat)

D

D sharp (or E flat)

E

F

F sharp (or G flat)

G

G sharp (or A flat)

A

A sharp (or B flat)

B

C

Answer 4

They can be summed up like this: Any musical note (in the western traditions) will be one of these: a, b, c, d, e, f or g. Any of these can be sharp, any of them can be flat. The lowest note on a standard piano is a at 27.5 Hertz, and the highest is c at 4186 Hertz. Each note has several different octave values that are sometimes notated by number. But in terms of basic names, the above covers them all. You can calculate the theoretical frequency of any note starting with a at 27.5 Hertz, by successively multiplying by the 12th root of 2, 1.05946. This calculation done successively has the effect of doubling the frequency once you reach the note one octave above any starting note.

In addition to the a, b, c list above, In German notation it is traditional to represent what we know of as 'b' with the letter 'h'. In this notation, 'b' refers to what we know as b flat. The c scale would then look like: c, d, e, f, g, a, h, c.

Answer 5

All the music notes? Well the main notes (White notes on a piano) are C, D, E, F, G, A, B. But then there are the notes with accidentials (sharps and flats; the black notes on the piano; # is a sharp and b is a flat) Cb (B natural), C#, Db (also C#), D# (Eb), Eb, Fb (E natural) F#, Gb (F#), G#, Ab (G#), A#, Bb, B# (C natural). The notes in the parenthesis double as the notes in front of them. Hope this helped!

Answer 6

They're called the degrees of the scale, and they are as follows:

1st - Tonic

2nd - Supertonic

3rd - Mediant

4th - Subdominant

5th - Dominant

6th - Submediant

7th - Leading tone

Answer 7

music notes are like basically a different language. They have the treble cleff which is the top one (you play it in the right hand) and the base cleff which is the bottom one (you play it in your left hand) Notes are what keys you play and where each key is on an instrument. the notes only go up to G. If you want to remember the right hand just start from G it is the second line in the TREBLE CLEFF and in the BASS CLEFF G is the last space. i play the piano, recorder and guitar but i mostly play the piano. hope this helped
