Hello, Im a beginner. I really feel fortunate to have found your site. My question is that in looking at some of the notes in different scales like A sharp harmonic minor & C sharp melodic minor, I see a B# in the note line & an E#. I was under the impression no Sharps or flats could occur after B or E going up in pitch. Also I don’t understand how to play a note that contains ## after it or double flats. Does that mean I need to find another equal note at a different octave and play them simultaneously?
Thank you. That’s a big eye opener and a great help in being able to practice correctly. I was wanting to learn to read & write at some point. I knew a girl who played clarinet in college and although at the time I asked her to play something for me she hadn’t played in years literally, She got out her instrument and a standard music notation song book and proceeded to absolutely shock me with her brilliant/beautiful/fluent playing. It sent the strongest message that a musician that can read & play fluently is something special. One more question. I heard a player say the right way to solo is to do it in the keys relative minor. But I think I read in your theory section something more general? Also is a scales relative minor always the 6th scale degree?
