Enharmonic

[certify]

PTL, trying to figure this out. Can anyone help. I know the notes spelled differently but sound the same. So, if i were to write two enharmonic equivalents for C, is the answer Db and B. For A is it Bb and G#. If not, can anyone explain it better to me. God Bless and thank You.

2 enharmonic equivalents for C would be:  B# (B + 1/2 step) and Dbb (D - two 1/2 steps)

Finding enharmonic equivalents for the black notes is pretty easy because you should already know them.  Finding enharmonic notes for the white notes is a little more tricky.  Here is a simple process that should help you out:

1. Write the note down.

C 

2.  Write the notes before and after it. 

B  C  D

3. Go to the lower note and count how many 1/2 steps it takes to get to your starting note.

B + 1/2 step = C

4.  For each 1/2 step you go up, put a sharp after the lower note.

B#

5.  Go to the higher note and count how many 1/2 steps it takes to get to your starting note.

D - 1/2 step - 1/2 step = C

6.  For each 1/2 step you go down, put a flat after the higher note.

Dbb

You get it now?  That should be your thought process for the white notes.

Thanks T-Block and yes this is better.
