Note Names

Note names are labels assigned to specific pitches in music, typically using letters such as A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. These letters correspond to particular sound frequencies and help musicians identify and communicate pitches easily. The notes repeat in a cycle, called octaves, which means the same letter appears at higher or lower sounds. Additional symbols, like sharps (#) or flats (b), indicate slight increases or decreases in pitch. Overall, note names serve as a universal language that facilitates reading, playing, and understanding music across different instruments and styles.
