MTH-07 Major Scales and Key Signatures

/in /by

About this lesson

This resource will help you explain the theory behind key signatures. Guitar teachers often use the circle of fifths to explain key signatures and major scales and this resource has been tested and found to be more effective and easier to teach. A simple grid is used to clearly show how each interval fits in to each key. The resource also includes information on harmonizing the scale as well as the major scale formula.

Once you give this resource to your students, they will use it again and again to figure out the notes in chords, scales, chord progressions and eventually write songs. The best part is you don't have to explain the theory, it's all mapped out clearly.
