B sharp, don’t B flat, and always B natural…
Discuss the lesson: Intro to Music Theory Part 9- Sharps, Flats, & Naturals
Very good demonstration! Really enjoy how Mr. G ties it back to the piano and neck of a fretted instrument.

While the “Dead Monk Rule” is a cute way of avoiding explaining stuff that would be way beyond my comprehension, I must tip my hat to the monks who figured out a way to organize the trillions of possible note combinations so I can play “Cripple Creek” in the 21st Century.
Maybe those so-called “dark ages” weren’t so dark after all!

Hi Laurel here:wave:
I’m enjoying the lessons and learning much:clap:
Question? What makes a B flat and not an A# in the key of F?
Oh 
I just answered my own ? HH1/2HHH1/2 right?
Thank you Mr. G

Hi @laurel.coombes 
to @banjoBen 's Forum They are both the same note. The name change comes about when there is a Key Change
See how many Keys have Bb as opposed to A#
This will help explain things better than I can.
Loved the Dead Monk Rule
