4 - Intermediate - Key Signatures Flashcards
The objective of "Key Signatures" is to help you quickly recognize the Key Signature (sharps or flats) for each Major or minor key. A Key Signature is a specific number of sharps or flats placed on the staff (written after the clef and before the Time Signature) that indicate the pitch for those specific notes. Identify relative Major and minor Keys. Identify Parallel or Tonic Major and minor keys. UltimateMusicTheory.com

Explain the concept of relative Major and relative minor keys.
A Major key and its relative minor key share the SAME Key Signature. The minor key is three semitones (half steps) and three letter names below its relative Major key.

Parallel or Tonic Major and Tonic minor keys share the SAME Tonic (first degree) note. They are not related and do not share the same Key Signature.
