Welcome!
This website was created to post question and answer sheets that reinforce the concepts from the Music Keys Rule YouTube videos on Major Scales and their Key Signatures. I hope these worksheets are helpful and useful in your learning experience. Enjoy the videos below.
It's one thing to teach but another to reach!

Chromatic & Diatonic Half Steps and the Enharmonic Equivalent
This is 1 of 10 videos teaching the step-by-step rudiments required in order to build and understand major scales and their key signatures (without resorting to memorization). The goal of these videos is to provide a better understanding of what students are playing and thus enhancing the entire music experience from sight reading to notation. Video 1 discusses the keyboard as a tool and starts with the Half Step. If the material in these videos is new review exercises can be found on the Worksheets page.

Whole Steps
Video 2 teaches the basics of accidentals - the sharp, flat and natural sign. An explanation of the enharmonic equivalent follows. Understanding these basic rudiments are part of the building block required to build tetrachords and major scales in later videos. Please
refer to the Worksheets page for exercises to reinforce concepts.

Introduction and the Half Step
by Elizabeth Maloney
Chromatic and Diatonic Half Steps and Enharmonic Equivalents are the next rudiments taught in the building block to understanding how major scales and their key signatures are constructed.
Video 4 goes over the whole step and how it is constructed.
In the next video we will see how the whole step is an integral part of a tetrachord. Tetrachords are used to construct major scales and will be dealt with in the following videos.
