Enharmonic Equivalents and Chromatic Scales

• In class, we went over note pitches, enharmonic equivalents, and chromatic scales.
• Enharmonic equivalents are musical notes with sound or pitch but have a different note name to them.
• Chromatic scale notes are twelve notes or pitches. Each note is separated by an interval of a semitone.

• This is a picture of enharmonic equivalents on a piano.
• It shows that even though their name is different you still get the same pitch. Each note is taken up to a sharp or flat.`

• In this piece of music, it is chromatic scales that are semitone separated. 
• The chromatic note can start from any of the twelve notes and end with starting note but in a different key.

In the video, the teacher is showing you how the scale is written and you can also see the enharmonic equivalents. 

Here someone is singing the chromatic scale.

I am playing the D chromatic scale ascending and descending.
