6 Sharps and Flats key signitures

Question 1

Play and name the last 3 accidentals for the ‘Flattened’ black note scale?

Answer 1

G flat - C flat - F flat

Gets - Charred - Feet

Question 2

Play and name the last 3 accidentals for the ‘Sharpened black note scale’?

Answer 2

A sharp - E sharp - B sharp

An - Electric -Blanket

Question 3

Name the 3 ‘white notes’ which are not typically flattened by the key signature (through the composer) in the ‘Flattened’ black note scale in a section of Music.

And why are they most likely considered natural.

Answer 3

G natural - C natural - F natural

Because, their key signatures are not typically chosen by the composer.

so remember to attain the mindset that they are natural, for ease of sight reading.
(Is there a special relation between G natural and F natural)

Question 4

Name the 3 white notes which are not typically sharpened by the key signature (through the composer) in the ‘Sharpened’ black note scale in a section of Music.

And why are they most likely considered natural.

Answer 4

A natural - E natural - B natural

Because, their key signatures are not typically chosen by the composer.

so remember to attain the mindset that they are natural, for ease of sight reading.

Question 5

What key signature + note/scale are you most likely to have the note:

C natural and F natural you have to explain why?

(Which key accidental/signature would you find this note in?)

Answer 5

(Db flat major/Bb minor)

(The flattened black note scale; because C flat and F flat is the 6th accidental in the key signature the key signature of 6 flats is G flat major and E flat minor)

You are less likely to find music which has 6 sharps and flats by the composers choice. This means that it would most likely have to play G natural, C natural and F natural in your piece of music unless something else is chosen in the composers (Writer) Piece (Narrative/plot/story)

Question 6

What is the note in D# minor scale used to identify the scale(tonality) of the piece and ultimately, the correct key signiture: (Using the sharpened black note scale)
(Hint) D# minor scale and NOT F# major scale (not the relative)

How does one distinct the relative minor form the relative major/

(a note that is in D# minor that is not in F# major)

Answer 6

The accidental used to identify D# minor is:

C Double Sharp

The relative minor will always have a flattened 3rd (sharpened Leading note/sub-mediant) of the ‘chosen’ scale just before the tonic note. If not then it is the relative major. But remember that it is not begin on the same tonic of the scale

Because relative keys have the same key signature Accidental
