So, when it comes to the key of C major, it is described as <em>&#8220;no sharp, no flat.<\/em>&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Sharp Keys Vs Flat Keys<\/h3>\n<p>Using the music clock (as a reference):<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;you can see how music keys are classified according to sharp keys and flat keys.<\/p>\n<p>While sharp keys\u00a0 are the keys that have a certain number of sharp notes, flat keys are keys that have a certain number of flat notes.<\/p>\n<p>The first six keys in the clockwise direction:<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;which are as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>G major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,A,B,C,D,E,Fs,G,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nD major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,E,Fs,G,A,B,Cs,D,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nA major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,B,Cs,D,Fs,Gs,A,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nE major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,Fs,Gs,A,B,Cs,Ds,E,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nB major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,Cs,Ds,E,Fs,Gs,As,B,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nF# major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,Gs,As,B,Cs,Ds,Es,Fs,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;are sharp keys because they have a certain number of sharp notes.<\/p>\n<p>The first six keys in the counter-clockwise direction:<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;which are as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>F major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,G,A,Bb,C,D,E,F,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nBb major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,C,D,Eb,F,G,A,Bb,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nEb major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb,C,D,Eb,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAb major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ab,Bb,C,Db,Eb,F,G,Ab,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nDb major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,Eb,F,Gb,Ab,Bb,C,Db,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nGb major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gb,Ab,Bb,Cb,Db,Eb,F,Gb,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;are flat keys because they have a certain number of flat notes.<\/p>\n<h2>The Power of Key Signature<\/h2>\n<p>Having an understanding of the number of sharps and flats in every key can widen your scope and hep you to identify any key &#8212; no matter how it&#8217;s disguised.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be using modal scales as our reference in this lesson.<\/p>\n<h3>A Short Note On Modal Scales<\/h3>\n<p>There are seven modal scales and starting from C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;here are the seven modal scales:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C Ionian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC Dorian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,Eb,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC Phrygian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Db,Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb,C,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC Lydian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,Fs,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC Mixolydian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,Fs,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC Aeolian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb,C,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC Locrian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Db,Eb,F,Gb,Ab,Bb,C,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Although these modal scales are derived from ancient modes used in classical music hundreds of years before now, they are used a lot in Jazz and other popular music styles.<\/p>\n<h3>Unleashing The Power Of Key Signature<\/h3>\n<p>Using the knowledge of key signature, you can easily identify the key that every modal scale is associated with. For example, the C Dorian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,Eb,F,G,A,Bb,C,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;has two flat notes &#8212; Eb and Bb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,Bb,,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and if you place the C Dorian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,Eb,F,G,A,Bb,C,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and the Bb major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Bb,C,D,Eb,F,G,A,Bb,,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;side-by-side, you&#8217;ll see that both scales have exactly the same notes.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, starting and ending the Bb major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Bb,C,D,Eb,F,G,A,Bb,,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;on C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces the C Dorian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,Eb,F,G,A,Bb,C,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe knowledge of the Bb major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Bb,C,D,Eb,F,G,A,Bb,,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;as the only key that has two flats can help you identify the parent key of the C Dorian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,Eb,F,G,A,Bb,C,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nEvery other modal scale can be identified and connected to a major scale using the knowledge of key signature and I&#8217;ll want you to check it out.<\/p>\n<p>The C Phrygian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Db,Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb,C,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;has four flat notes and the only major key that has four flats is the key of Ab major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Ab,Bb,C,Db,Eb,F,G,Ab,,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe C Lydian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,Fs,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;has only one sharp note and that&#8217;s pretty much like the key of G major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,A,B,C,D,E,Fs,G,&amp;color=0099FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is the only key that has one sharp note.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>So, what is the power of key signature?<\/p>\n<p>The power of key signature is simply the knowledge of key-signature and this is because knowledge is power. The knowledge of key signature puts enough information at your disposal, that you can associate modal scales with their parent keys.<\/p>\n<p>There are definitely other sides to the concept of key signature, however, we&#8217;re only getting started. In a subsequent lesson, we&#8217;ll explore other aspects of the concept of key signature.<\/p>\n<p>See you then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The power of key signature is the
