Music Flat Sign

This is the FLAT SIGN.
If you see a flat sign before a note it means that you have to play the next key to the LEFT, and again it doesn't matter whether it's a black key or a white one.

The Music Flat Sign


The next musical piece, Siciliana by Bach, has B flat in the opening phrase.

Siciliana by Bach has a Bb in the melody.


Order of flats All the Sharps are notated and shown in a logical order In this image .

The same rules apply for the sharp sign and the flat sign.
When a flat (b) note appears before a note, it applies to that note for the rest of the whole measure.

And if a flat sign appears on a certain note in the KEY SIGNATURE in the beginning of a piece, we'll be flatting the note throughout the whole piece.

Click here to go to the Sharp Sign Page to see some examples of how a sharp/flat sign appears in the key signature, or how we keep a note sharp/falt through out the whole bar when it appeared once in the beginning of the bar.

Now let's play a few pieces with flats.
