This video is a Key Signature Masterclass. A key signature tells you what notes are in a given key.

I'll cover each and every key used in western music, 12 keys in all. This is one of the most important topics in music theory because it provides a road map for understanding the songs you listen too.

I've chosen popular songs to demonstrate the sound of each key. Try exploring these keys in your own compositions to bring out different musical colors.
