Notice that it is surrounded by C and D. Because it is to the right of C, it is called C Sharp, (written C#). It is also known as D Flat (written Db) because it is to the left of D.Take a look at the groups of two black keys again. Let's look at the black key on the right. Notice that it is surrounded by D and E. Because it is to the right of D, it is called D Sharp, (written D#). It is also known as E flat (written Eb) because it is to the left of E. 3. Naming the Groups of Three Black KeysTake a look at the groups of three black keys. Let's look at the black key on the left of the group of three black keys. Notice that it is surrounded by F and G. Since it is to the right of F, what is the name of this key? If you said F sharp (F#) you're right! It is to the left of G, so it has another name. What is it? If you said G flat (Gb) you are right again!Take a look at the groups of three black keys again. Let's look at the black key in the middle. Notice that it is surrounded by G and A. Since it is to the right of G, what is it called? If you said G# you're right! It is to the left of A, so it has another name. What is it? If you said Ab then you are right again! Good work! Take a look at the groups of three black keys one final time. Let's look at the black key to the right of the group of three black keys. Notice that it is surrounded by A and B. What are its two names then? If you said A sharp (A#) and B flat (Bb) then you are correct! This black key is called A sharp (A#) because it is located to the right of A, and it is called B flat (Bb) because it is located to the left of B. 4.
