I know I''m not officially a member; but I need
to know what B# is played at? I think it''s a C but I''m not sure! This
sounds like a really silly question but I do need to know![:)]

I believe you just play C.

E# = F B# = C Cb = B Fb = E [:)] for sharps, look
for the next note to the right for flats, vice versa

Ahhh Enharmonics! The way how to memorize them was to learn the keys of the piano. Every time i have a suspicious note, i just remember what it should be on the piano! (i.e- you have a c and then you move up to the black key when you move up it makes it a sharp..when you move back from the c it makes it a flat C going up makes it c# and c going back is a b natural since there are no black keys! Sorry if that was hard to understand lol but i think it might help! *Annie*

indeed. The probably best way to learn this is to get yourelf a keyboard, and look at the keys.

You'll notice on it there is no 'black' key next to each of the Es. This means that when the score talks about E#, it is really just F.

Another confusing problem you'll probably have is difference between sharps and flats. C# is effectively the same as Db. This might seem simple to understand, but it becomes hell when your trying to play on scores.
