How To Read Accidentals (Sharps, Flats, Naturals)

___________________________
One of our most popular videos is about how to read music, which you can watch here:

The most common question I get asked about that video is, "What about sharps and flats?" So today I thought we'd talk more about them. 😎

Chapters:
0:00 Intro
0:32 Sharps (the original hashtag)
1:15 Flats
1:51 Key Signatures (where things can get tricky)
2:44 Naturals

These topics can be confusing for new players, and I have found it helps to go through a piece of music and circle all the accidentals or notes affected by the key signature.
