Piano Key Chart

Look closely at the piano key chart above. In this piano keyboard chart most of the keys have
two note names. For instance, the note one semitone higher than C is C sharp, but since it is one
semitone lower than D it is also called D flat. In the same way the note one semitone higher than
D is D sharp, but since it is one semitone lower than E it is also called E flat.

Technically, a key can have a limitless number of note names. It’s all about steps or tones.
For instance, (as can be seen in the piano key chart or piano keyboard chart above) C is one
semitone (one half step) higher than B and can be called B sharp. But since it is two semitones
lower than D it can be called D double flat as well. Using this same principle the note one
semitone higher than E is F, but it can also be called E sharp. F can be called G double flat or
even D triple sharp!

If two notes have the same pitch but are represented by different letter names and accidentals,
they are enharmonic. F, E sharp and D triple sharp are enharmonic equivalents. Enharmonic
notes are usually used by composers to make the note’s place in the harmonies of a piece of
music clearer to the performer. So if necessary, a composer may very well prefer to write an E
sharp or even a D triple sharp instead of an F.

In a diatonic scale an individual note may not occur more than once. Here are two examples. In
the key of G the major scale is G A B C D E F-sharp. Instead of calling the note G flat, we call it
F sharp. This is because we have already used the letter G in the scale. G cannot be used twice.
Here’s another example. The notes in the key of F major are F G A B-flat C D E. We do not call
B flat “A sharp” in this scale since we need that note name to represent the note A which has
already been used. Also, the letter B had to be part of the scale.
