Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop du

00:05

jour Brought to you by musical magicians They had to

00:08

stop using the phrase presto change o because well no

00:12

one could keep up with their tricks Seriously look out

00:15

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

00:18

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
