What are the notes for music?

Musical notes are the building blocks of music, representing different pitches in a musical scale. The notes used in Western music are:

- A (or La)

- B (or Si)

- C (or Do)

- D (or Re)

- E (or Mi)

- F (or Fa)

- G (or Sol)

These notes can be further altered by adding accidentals such as sharps (#) and flats (♭) to raise or lower the pitch of a note by a semitone, or half step.
