same.• Every letter name must appear at least once.• Follow the interval pattern T-T-S-T-T-T-S.• The notes B/C and E/F are one semi-tone apart.• A sharp raises a note by one semi-tone.• A flat lowers a note by one semi-tone.

Figuring out Key Signatures
First, you must remember that the Key of C has NO sharps or flats.

For key signatures with sharps…
- Find the last sharp (farthest to the right).- Move up a semitone and that is the tonic or do. - And as you know…the tonic is the name of the
key signature!

For key signatures with Flats…
- Memorize that the key with one flat is the key of F.
- For all other flat keys, find the second last flat. That flat is the tonic. That is the name of the key signature!
