So what is “natural”?
• If you make a note sharp, it stays sharp until the end of the bar
We make this note sharp
This one is also sharpAnd this one…This one too,
but not after the bar
This one is not sharpAnd we make it
sharp again
So what is “natural”?
• If you make a note sharp, it stays sharp until the end of the bar
We make this note sharp
This one is also sharpNow this one is natural (just A, the white note)
This one we make sharp
again
This one is not sharpAnd we make it
