Ex:
C Major Scale: C D E F G A B C B A G F E D C]]> 2017-11-29 14:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/schumaca1/94cwsrr9iucq/wish/211416390 The Pattern schumaca1 https://padlet.com/schumaca1/94cwsrr9iucq/wish/211422201 Major Scales follow a pattern of alternating Whole Tone (WT) or whole step and Semitone (ST) or half step distances between notes.  The pattern is:

(WT)-(WT)-(ST)-(WT)-(WT)-(WT)-(ST)
C-D    D-E    E-F   F-G    G-A   A-B   B-C]]> 2017-11-29 14:54:41 UTC https://padlet.com/schumaca1/94cwsrr9iucq/wish/211422201 Accidentals schumaca1 https://padlet.com/schumaca1/94cwsrr9iucq/wish/211427323 Since every Major scale has to follow the formula, the notes need to be manipulated by raising or lowering to match the pattern.  Ex:
F Major:
(WT)-(WT)-(ST)-(WT)-(WT)-(WT)-(ST)
F-G    G-A  A-Bb  Bb-C C-D   D-E   E-F

The distance between the third and fourth scale degree has to be a half step or semitone, so the B must be flattened.]]> 2017-11-29 15:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/schumaca1/94cwsrr9iucq/wish/211427323 Key Signatures schumaca1 https://padlet.com/schumaca1/94cwsrr9iucq/wish/211684622 Key signatures are placed at the beginning between the clef and the time signature.  The Key signature tells you all of the accidentals (either sharps OR flats, never both) that must be played in the scale, or piece of music.]]> 2017-11-30 01:46:01 UTC https://padlet.com/schumaca1/94cwsrr9iucq/wish/211684622 Order of Sharps and Flats schumaca1 https://padlet.com/schumaca1/94cwsrr9iucq/wish/211686280 Key signatures must be written in a specific order.

Identify the key signature by finding the last sharp, the note value above the last sharp is the name of the key.
