"So when we are ascending a chromatic scale, we intend to use sharps. A sharp of course is basically what is used to raise a note a half step. So, since we are going up we are raising notes, and I am going to go through the names of the notes for you now so that you have them. You have, starting at A: A, A sharp, B, C, C sharp, D, D sharp, E, F, F sharp, G, G sharp, and we are back at A. So that is the order of notes when you are rising, when you are ascending. When you are descending, you utilize flats because a flat of course is what is used to, a note that is been lower than a half step. So, descending we have A, A flat, G, G flat, F, E, E flat, D, D flat, C, B, B flat, and we are back at A."
