Music Theory - Why the Notes E# B# Cb and Fb Really Do Exist - Music Theory

Yes, the notes E#, B#, Cb and Fb really do exist and it's important to know why. In this music theory lesson we explain the often confusing topic of enharmonic equivalents and why in music we sometimes have to call a note E# instead of F, or B# instead of C, or Fb instead of E, or Cb instead of B as well as sometimes needing to use double sharps or double flats. We clear up the theory behind the issue, look at why scales and keys have to be organised according to certain patterns, and why scales are organised with one of each letter of the musical alphabet, sometimes necessitating the use of E#, B#, Fb, Cb, double sharps and double flats. We'll then investigate the use of E#, B#, Fb, Cb, double sharps and double flats in two pieces of music, one by Bach, the other by Chopin. This music theory lesson will clear up any confusion about enharmonic equivalents. ⬇️Download the files https://drive.google.com/file/d/15hZqqIBaymeXMt_u7Jov6j5mngvBPw84/view?usp=sharing 🔴 Subscribe for more videos just like this: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg?sub_confirmation=1 🎵 Become a Music Matters Maestro: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg/join 👕 Merch store: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg/store 🕘 Timestamps 0:00 - Introduction to the notes B#, E#, Cb and Fb 0:27 - Learning about enharmonic equivalents 6:32 - Double sharps and double flats 9:18 - Examples of enharmonics in pieces by Bach and Chopin 🎓 Learn Music Online with Music Matters Learn music theory, aural tests, composition, sight reading, orchestration and more!
