Lecture Notes:

  • The purpose of Major and Minor key signatures is to have a variety of musical sund variation and to allow the music to NOT be limited
  • The Circle of fifths is a relationship amoung the 12 tones and thier key signatures as well as the associated major and minor keys
  • The term diatiic means "one melody" is being played
  • Relative keys have the diffrent tonics but share the same key signatures
Examples of different key signatures

The above is the circle of fifths which is a way musicians are able to observe the relative major and minor keys. the 12 notes are in a chromatic scale and they are each a fifth apart.



Helpful Videos



 The previous video explains the pentatonic scale. I was able to understand because I saw close up visually  and audibly how 1,2,3,5,6 are apart of this scale.






Major scales are defined in the video





This video explains the different key signatures and why they are important  by giving a clear definition and visual examples and getting straight to the point.
