• The entire group of Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, and Cb are played in a Gb key
signature.

• Can you tell what notes the Cb key signature indicates? Pat yourself on the
back if you said Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Cb, and Fb.


C Key Signature example on the treble staff... apply to the same

notes on the bass staff



3. Circle of fifths - A Visual way to remember the number of
sharps/flats in a given key signature?


The circle of fifths, introduced by Johann David Heinichen in 1728, is a visual

arrangement of related keys. Although its name gives the impression that it's a
difficult concept to grasp, it's really just an easy way to remember the number of
sharps and flats in a key signature and the major and minor key relationships.


Sharps and Flats
If you can imagine a clock for a moment, where each hour represents a

particular key, you can identify that key's sharps and flats. Let's say that:

• 12:00 or "0:00" represents the C Major key (or the A Minor key)...
• 1:00 represents the G Major key (or the E Minor key)...
• 2:00 represents the D Major key (or the B Minor key)...
• 3:00 represents the A Major key (or the F# Minor key)...
• 4:00 represents the E Major key (or the C# Minor key)...
• 5:00 represents the B Major key (or the G# Minor key)...
• 6:00 represents the F# Major key (or the Eb Minor key)...
• 7:00 represents the Db Major key (or the Bb Minor key)...
• 8:00 represents the Ab Major key (or the F Minor key)...
• 9:00 represents the Eb Major key (or the C Minor key)...
• 10:00 represents the Bb Major key (or the G Minor key), and
• 11:00 represents the F Major key (or the D Minor key).
