Question 3

Explain why ‘G’ is already sharpened when using it in a Chord with ‘E’ as the Tonic.
and
Explain why ‘A’(Leading note) is already sharpened while playing a ‘B’ Chord
(Hint-For both think of the major scale and the mnemonic for Sharps
and
Explain why ‘G or F’ is already sharpened while playing an ‘A’ Chord
(Hint-For both think of the major scale and the mnemonic for Sharps

Answer 3

(G is already sharpened because it’s one of the accidentals of A major, including F(#), C(#), G(#), D(#),

(‘A’ is already sharpened because A(#) automatically sharpened as one the accidentals of the B major including F#, C#, G#, A(Natural)

For the key of ‘A’ (above): A, C#, E, G(Natural)-(‘G’ and ‘F’ is already sharpened because it’s one of the accidentals of A major, including F(#), C(#), G(#), D(#),
