Enharmonic: Music Theory

Video Transcript

Hey! I am Mark Black and I am here on expertvillage.com. I am here to talk to you about music theory and learning how to read music. Okay, now the last thing I am going to talk about is inharmonic notes. You will be excited to share this word with your friends, inharmonic. And inharmonic notes are basically different names for the same sounds; a musical homonym. And if we look at, for example remember our notes, we are in treble clef, this is a G and A, a B, this is a C. We talked about sharps and flats being mathematical, sharp is plus 1, so a C you raise it a half step it, it’s a C sharp but you will notice, remember this is each one of these is half step apart, our flat lowers a note a half step. So the D flat, a D that is lowered a half step, D flat is the same note, it is the same sound and that is because here is our C and here is our D because there is a sound; a mystery sound. There is a sound right here in between C and the D and what do we name it? Well it just depends on where we start. If we started on the C we will call it a C that is sharped, now I am going to write the letter name C sharp, because the C that is sharped. If we arrive there by lowering the D a half step making it a D flat that is how we would name it. Those are inharmonic notes.
