thank you for posting this video it really helped me out. I have been playing the piano for a hobby for about 5 to 7 years now but i never dedicated myself to playing, so i never learned how to actually play anything on sheet music, I only learned how to play by ear. now I want to learn how to read sheet music and so far its really going well for me.

Because there is no semitone (black key) between E & F, E# aka E Sharp will be the normal F and Fb aka F flat will be the normal E. Same for B & C, there is no semitone between them, B# aka B Sharp will be the normal C and Cb aka C flat will be the normal B.
