fast They're going all right Here's our question what's the

harmonic equivalent of a flat and hear potential aims are
- 00:23
g sharp Be sharp b flat She fine All right
- 00:25
Well let's start by visualising a keyboard and through some
- 00:29
fancy shmoop magic her to see the resident shmoop magician
- 00:32
which our cfo told us was a bad idea But
- 00:35
look how cool he looks We could make a keyboard
- 00:37
appear on stage Presto Change o c we got that
- 00:41
All right that's Why we keep an official magician on
- 00:43
payroll and take that c f o all right And
- 00:46
now for some academic magic what's an in harmonic equivalent
- 00:50
A note that is n harmonically equivalent to another will
- 00:53
sound the same one played but will be named differently
- 00:58
And like if you compare us trying to sing the
- 01:00
same song is beyonce or whitney and i will always
- 01:08
love you Well the notes may be somewhat the same
- 01:12
Pitch somewhat but you might label our performance is just
- 01:17
a little differently as in bad so which note is
- 01:20
the same as a flat but labeled differently Well if
- 01:23
we take a look at our keyboard and find a
- 01:24
flat and take a look at all of our options
- 01:27
we can see that a flat is in harmonically equivalent
- 01:30
to g sharp it's the same key They sound the
- 01:33
same They look the same when you plunk him out
- 01:35
on a piano but they're named differently That means a
- 01:38
is our answer and because we find and harmonic equivalents
- 01:41
unequivocally fun well let's figure out the equivalents for the
- 01:45
rest of our possible answers Be sharp is an harmonically
- 01:48
equivalent to see b flat is in harmonically equivalent to
- 01:51
a sharp and g flat is in harmonically equivalent f
- 01:54
sharp And there you go just like magic Well maybe
- 01:58
we should've hired a lawyer instead of a magician Sorry
