The difference between a sharp and flat on the piano is the direction. Sharps go up, flats go down. Here is an easy way to remember the direction: "If you sit on a SHARP object you would stand UP. If you have a FLAT tyre, it has gone DOWN."
When you look at the piano you will notice that the black keys are grouped in 2 then 3, 2 then 3 over the entire length of the piano. 2 + 3 = 5. There are only 5 uniquely named black keys, then the whole pattern repeats itself.
Find any set of 2 black keys. The white key in the middle of these is called D. If you play the black key to the right of D, this is D sharp. D sharp is a higher sound than D. If you play the black key to the left of D, this is D flat. D flat is a lower sound than D.
Every black key has 2 names.
C sharp is the same black note as D flat.
D sharp is the same as E flat.
F sharp is the same as G flat.
G sharp is the same as A flat.
Can you work out the other name of A sharp?
Yes - it is B flat!
The symbol for a sharp in music is #. The symbol for a flat in music is a pointed letter "b". If you see these music symbols written in sheet music, they are written directly in front of the note.
Remember - "If you sit on a SHARP object you would stand UP. If you have a FLAT tyre, it has gone DOWN."
