    Reading Key Signatures:

    All About Key SignaturesEverything you need to know about the accidentals
    & key signatures.

    Use the interactive key signature locator to identify or double-check your key.

    There are always two keys that relate to one another more than any other key.
    Find out what this means.

    Comparing Major & Minor


    Major and minor are often described in terms of feelings or mood. The ear
    tends to perceive major and minor as having contrasting personalities; a
    contrast that is most obvious when the two are played back to back. Learn
    more about major and minor scales and keys.

    Learn About Enharmony:

    The 6 Enharmonic Key SignaturesIf you’re familiar with the circle of fifths (or
    you just know your way around the key signatures) you may have noticed a
    few anomalies. Some keys – like B-sharp and F-flat major – are seemingly
    absent, while others go by two names

    The Inefficient KeysThe circle of fifths shows only the working scales. But, if
    we expand on its pattern, we can see that it’s actually more of an infinite spiral,
    so there’s no end to the possibilities of musical scales.

    Table of Working & Non-Working Keys


    See a clear visual of which keynotes are workable and which would be
    redundant.

    Italian Music Symbols to Know:


    7/5/2019 https://www.liveabout.com/printable-piano-lesson-book-4011854?print

    ▪ marcato: informally referred to as simply an “accent,” a marcato makes a note


    slightly more pronounced than surrounding notes.

    ▪ legato or slur: connects two or more different notes. In piano music, the individual
    notes must be struck, but there should be no audible spaces between them.

    ▪ : "from nothing"; to gradually bring notes out of complete silence, or a crescendo


    that rises slowly from nowhere.

    ▪ decrescendo: to gradually decrease the volume of the music. A decrescendo is


    seen in sheet music as a narrowing angle, and is often marked decresc.

    ▪ delicato: “delicately”; to play with a light touch and an airy feel.

    ▪ : very sweetly; to play in a particularly delicate manner. Dolcissimo is a superlative


    of "dolce."
