Playground Forums

I was learning demons intermediate - moderate. In the beginning, the very first key in the notes is shown as E, but the playground app expects me to play E flat. I have noticed this in some other places in playground as well. Am I understanding something wrong? Or is there something wrong in the app?

In that song, all the "E" keys should be played E-Flat unless otherwise noted (with a natural). The hint is in the key signature. You might want to take a look at the lessons on key signature and sharps, flats and naturals.

Good luck.

Hi, Isn't the E flat in the key signature in a different octave altogether? I lessons on Accidentals say that accidentals don't apply on different octave.

Isn't the E flat in the key signature in a different octave altogether?

The E-Flat in the key signature applies to every E note regardless of the octave.

accidentals don't apply on different octave.

This is correct. A note with a sharp, flat or natural symbol - it applies only to that specific note, and only until the end of the current measure.

You might want to take the course "Reading Music - Staff Notation (Rookie)" and if you already took it, take it again. Pay close attention to the music theory rather than just playing the exercises.

Good luck.

Agree! This is the right way!
