When talking about music, every sound has a note: even your voice. I speak in sol; my friend, in mi; even the drums sound different because they are tuned in different ways. The first thing you must know about the musical notes is that they are not seven but twelve. Here you have the list of seven you sure know...
Do – Re – Mi – Fa – Sol – La – Ti
and here you have the other five...
Sharp do – Sharp re – Sharp fa – Sharp sol – Sharp la
which are also called...
Flat re – Flat mi – Flat sol – Flat la – Flat ti
The musical notes are usually represented by symbols on a staff (we'll talk about that in another article) or by a notation of letters and symbols. There, you have...
La = A
Ti = B
Do = C
Re = D
Mi = E
Fa = F
Sol = G
Sharp = #
Flat = b
That is to say that a complete octave of musical notes is composed of...
C – C# – D – D# - E – F – F# – G – G# – A – A# – B
or
C – Db – D – Eb – E – F – Gb – G – Ab – A – Bb – B
...which name the same twelve sounds.
With the musical notes you can compose scales and chords. Thus, music is composed of notes and chords played with rhythm, but also of spaces in silence, which are used to express some other feelings.
