Here is a neat way to remember which notes have tones and semi-tones.
Write on your left hand the following notes
Thumb = A
First Finger = B C
Second Finger = D
Third Finger = E F
Fourth Finger = G
Then, imagine between each finger a Sharp or Flat.
I came up with this idea while trying to learn different bar cords on my guitar and it really works!
Do you have any hints or tips that will help remember music?
