Musical Notes
Musical note is a symbolic representation of a specific sound in terms of pitch (frequency), duration, and intensity. Each note corresponds to a particular frequency of vibration, which is perceived by the human ear as a sound with a specific pitch.
In the Western musical notation system, notes are represented by seven letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, which correspond to the notes La, Si, Do, Re, Mi, Fa, and Sol, respectively.
| C | Do |
| D | Re |
| E | Mi |
| F | Fa |
| G | Sol |
| A | La |
| B | Si |
These notes can be modified by musical accidentals, such as sharps (#) and flats (b), which alter the pitch of the note by a half step up or down, respectively. Therefore, there are 12 notes: Do, Do# (Reb), Re, Re# (Mib), Mi, Fa, Fa# (Solb), Sol, Sol# (Lab), La, La# (Sib), and Si. Out of these 12 notes, 7 are natural (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si), and the others are alterations identified by a sharp or flat.
Furthermore, notes can be represented in different octaves, meaning the same note can have higher or lower frequencies. For example, a Do can be played in various octaves, sounding lower or higher.
In the context of music theory, notes are fundamental for the formation of scales, chords, and melodies. They are the basis for reading, writing, and performing music.
There is also another way to represent musical notes that does not use letters. This is known as sheet music. Notes are written on the staff or stave (from Greek, penta = five, and grama = line). The lines and spaces are counted from bottom to top.
