Key Signature Chart
theory3 Comments
This Key Signature Chart is designed to help you learn all the key
signatureseasily. It’s written with increasing sharps and flats.
It’s essential for all musicians to memorize the key signatures. As you
study it you’ll quickly learn its patterns and discover that it’s not nearly as
difficult as it seems at first glance. The right column shows the
accidentals (sharps or flats): Notice how each sharp is always a fifth
above the last (G-sharp, D-sharp, A-sharp…) and each flat is always a fifth
below the previous one (B-flat, E-flat, A-flat…).
Note that the sharps follow the Circle of Fifthsclockwise, while the flats
follow it counterclockwise.
In addition to the online chart on this page, I’ve created a beautiful
printable version of the Key Signature Chart, available for free download!
