Key Signature Flashcards

1. Key Signature Flashcards • These are all key signatures in treble, bass and alto clef. • Instead of the usual handheld flashcards, I projected these from my computer. Easier to use, always stayed nice, and all students could see better. • Feel free to jazz it up, edit, add to, and shift slides around periodically to mix it up. • Slides are currently set to show answer and advance on click, you may prefer timed animation.

2. A sharp or flat placed before a note is sometimes called an “accidental”. True or False? • True

3. True or False? One or more flats or sharps at the beginning of a staff is called a key signature. • True

4. Name the order of flats as they appear in the major key signatures. • Bb • Eb • Ab • Db • Gb • Cb • Fb

5. Name the order of sharps as they appear in the major key signatures. • F# • C# • G# • D# • A# • E# • B#

6. What is the rule for finding the key signature in sharps? • The key is the note above the last sharp in signature.

7. What is the rule for finding the key signature in flats? • The key is the next to the last flat.
