Learning keys and key signatures

This bundle of resources centers around learning the flat and sharp key signatures (up to four flats and sharps) This is particularly useful for GCSE students.

The keys and key signature pp can be covered in 2-4 lessons and teaches students how to recognise the sharp and flat key signatures with top tips for doing this and chances to practice.

There are two homework worksheets- to help students revise and remember what they have learnt about the flat and sharp key signatures.

There is also a key signature game- which has the name of each key in bold for you to cut out and place around the room. You can then test students by asking them for example " which key has 2 sharps?" and getting them to move around the room to find the correct key.

The excel spreadsheet contains scales written in letter form e.g. CDEFGABC and colour coded, for every note of the scale. This is a good way for students to get used to what notes are in each key, through playing them.

There is also an extra **powerpoint for revision or homework **which asks students to create their own revision aid for the key signatures- this is a good way to consolidate the learning.
