Double Sharps And Double Flats????????

[bmcdancer]

I WAS GIVEN A BLANK KEYBOARD AND I WAS ASKED TO FIND THE SHARPS, FLATS, DOUBLE FLATS AND DOUBLE SHARPS. CAN ANY ONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME??

EXAMPLE: THE "D" CHORD IS SUPPOSE TO BE Ebb, D, AND Cx (HOW DID THEY GET THIS?)

[brent]

Ebb, D, AND Cx

This is all the same note

Ebb double flat is D
Cx doulbe sharp is D also

Enharmonically spelled

[bmcdancer]

Yes I do understand that they are enharmonics, what I dont understand is how D turned into Ebb flat and so on......

[brent]

Its the Same thing Ebb double flat= D = Cx double sharp
its just saying the same thing 3 different ways thats all

Put your finger on the note E and then put your finger on Eb on the piano
now put your finger on Ebb double flat on the piano its now D

Put your finger on the note C on the piano now put your finger on C# on the piano , now put your finger on C## its now D

[bmcdancer]

SO FOR THE "B" CHORD WOULD IT BE: Bbb Ax???

[bmcdancer]

Does It Depend On Whole Steps And Half Steps??

[widdly widdly]

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

could be written as

C Db D Eb E F Gb G Ab A Bb B C

or (if you are being silly)

B# C# Cx D# Dx E# F# Fx G# Gx A# Ax B#

or

Dbb Db Ebb Eb Fb Gbb Gb Abb Ab Bbb Bb Cb

How this is helpful to anyone is beyond me! I think the point of the exercise is to understand that a b is half step down, a # is a half step up, a bb is a whole step down and a x is a whole step up.
