go to our scale construction page for more detailed material.It is surely better for a student to develop a "joined up" knowledge of how scales are constructed rather than to have to remember a list of which notes are in each key? This kind of approach to learning can "fragment" what is after all a single subject. If our students "get" scales then as a consequence they understand key signatures completely yet a feature of many graded examination syllabuses is that key signatures are "drip fed" through the grades (for example students may be required to be familiar with key signatures up to two sharps to be awarded a preliminary or an early grades certificate. Used in conjunction with the sheets that feature scales and key signatures combined these worksheets are an ideal way to indroduce students to the concept of key signatures and to reinforce knowledge. The music teacher's resources package features a series of key signatures worksheets that progress through the keys using both sharp and flat keys as well as material (see the free key signatures worksheet that is available on this page) which asks students to provide key signatures in no particular order.

It's all very well teaching students that each key signature has a different number of #'s and b's in it and then asking them to recite a list ("one sharp in the key of G, two sharps in the key of D" etc) but in a perfect world knowledge of key signatures would be a symptom of a much broader and deeper level of understanding? Key Signatures can be a tricky concept to get over to music students but the worksheets available here can help to make it much easier.
