Do bémol

flat noun. flat [noun] (in musical notation) a sign (♭) which makes a note a semitone lower.

A flat is notated with the ♭ symbol, which is like a small 'b' – literally “soft B” in Italian, which a lot of classical music notation derives from – and means “lower in pitch”.

In music theory, a natural (♮) is an accidental which cancels previous key signatures or accidentals and represents the unaltered pitch of a note.

lower in pitch In music, flat (Italian bemolle for "soft B") means "lower in pitch". Flat is the opposite of sharp, which is a raising of pitch. In musical notation, flat means "lower in pitch by one semitone (half step)", notated using the symbol ♭ which is derived from a stylised lowercase 'b'.

In musical notation, flats are the notes made low in a given key signature. The symbol for a flat is L, which means half a tone lower than the written note. The first flat key signature is the key of F, or its relative minor, which is D minor (Dm). These keys have a single flat note: B flat (Bb).

A Natural Sign It can cancel a flat or sharp from the same measure, or it can cancel it out from the key signature that is noted at the beginning of the sheet music. For an example, if a note is C sharp, then a natural sign would bring the note back to its natural tone which is C.

Natural key signature: a key signature with seven naturals (♮) used to cancel the seven sharps (♯) of the previous signature.

A sharp raises a note or tone, and a flat lowers a note or tone. A sharp note makes a tone sound a semitone or pitch higher. A flat makes a note sound a semitone or pitch lower.

music. : the note a semitone below B.

: in a natural manner. used as a direction in music to cancel a previous direction.

It means that every note of that letter (in this case B) needs to be played a semitone lower than it normally is, as B natural originally, now Bb. That is - every note - in any octave - but it only displays one. On piano, B natural is a white key - Bb is the black key to its left.

(♭) The Flat Sign (♭) The D♭ note, for instance, sits between the C and D and is the black key on the left of the D key of a piano. Just like sharp notes, some flat notes have two names, like G# and A♭, which are one and the same key on a piano.

♭ symbol The note B-flat is indicated with that same notehead with a ♭ symbol placed to the left of it. The ♭ symbol universally indicates a flat note. It tells a player to sound a pitch half a tone lower than the written note.

Explore Hand Signs and Solfège in “Do-Re-Mi” Pitches can be organized into a musical scale, or pattern of notes. Solfège syllables are the names for each note in a musical scale. In the song “Do-Re-Mi,” J.J. sings the seven solfège syllables in a major scale: DO, RE, MI, FA, SOL, LA, and TI.

A semitone (sometimes called a half tone or a half step) is the distance from a white key to a neighboring black key on the piano keyboard - for example, from G to G-sharp or from E to E-flat.
