Everything you need to know about key signatures, and three ways to learn them all.
Key signatures are crucial for music theory, composition, sight reading, and improvisation. This video is an update to my original 2018 video on key signatures and includes three methods to learn them all - The "Two Rules Method, The Chart Method, and the The Woodshed Method.

It seems silly to say, but "learn your scales, your future self will thank you." are some of the truest words ever spoken when it comes music.

the chart method is such a good alternative to the circle of fifths. I went from unconfident to confident in minutes. 10/10.

Timing couldnât be more perfect

Thank you. As a beginner I have been trying to figure this out and you have made this comprehensive. The chart method makes the most sense to me.

My mind is blown after leaning the chart method....I never heard of it. The Two Rules method made sense to me, but the Chat Method is just beyond comprehension in its simplicity. Truly amazing how math and music combine.

So this is how I learned mine: I got home drunk in the middle of the day and my I was not expecting anyone home but it turns out my grandma was home. I didnât want to act suspicious so i grabbed a piece of staff paper and wrote the flats and sharps in order over and over again. Finally I pulled out the circle of fifths and memorized it by copying it over and over again. By the time I was sober I memorized all my keys. Just to clear things up, I started in the music program a few years into college, we did not cover this in high school as we just focused on playing notes and not looking too much into the theory and I was of legal drinking age when I did this. I used to live with my grandfather and that week him and my grandma went out of town and I was not expecting them to be home so early. I donât recommend this to anyone though.

I believe this is the best video I've ever seen on any subject!

In jazz school right now, we started a thing called "music theory bootcamp" in which we deep dive into one key signature at a time. This is SO efficient and easy. Basically collectively woodshedding.

I think this is easier to learn for real musical situations than on a syllabus schedule. If you're in a band, or even solo, start with the 2 or 3 keys you use the most, branching out slowly; and just look at the circle of fifths on a regular basis.

As a guitarist,I use the guitar fret board⌠moving in 4ths from C. C= none, F= 1flat, Bb= 2 flats, Eb= 3 flats, Ab= 4 flats, etc. Moving in 5ths from C, C= none- G=1 sharp, D= 2 sharps, A= 3 sharps, E=4 sharps, etcâŚ.btw, nice ideas you have there!

This is extremely helpful. Thanks. Iâve been writing out flash cards on index cards and memorizing them. I have no background in music, but I started almost 4 months ago and I love my violin. Iâm learning music theory and sight reading at the same time.

Once again so well explained.. This will make leading key signatures so much easier. Thank you

I teach my students to draw the circle of fifths. That has been useful - and aids a little in comprehension - but this chart is beautifully simple for quick study! I will definitely be using it.

I mean, I had NO idea that the sharps and flats in the notation indicate exactly what notes were sharps or flats! Never seen it mentioned anywhere else up until this point! Thank you so much, your tips are very very helpful đ

This is the easiest method to remember key signatures by far. Thank you so much for sharing this lesson and Iâm going to share it with my music students đđđť

Superb! Great synthesis! Now I am not lost anymore. The Chart Method suited me most; now it's my time to go to the Woodshed!

Thank you for your reply about background music. I have just watched your revised version. It is a great help and no background music is a very big help for me as I cannot cope with background music. Thank you for the time and effort you have put in to this.

Congrats!!! Excellent methodology and explanations!

Have my Music Theory mid-term tomorrow and this definitely helped and I feel more confident now. Just subbed, thanks!
