Instead of counting Whole & Half steps patterns, INSERT the sharps or flats from the KEY SIGNATURE into the scale to solve.

Drawing Key Signatures-
Determine if the key is Sharp or Flat
HINT: Flats all have flats in their Names except for F
Determine the number of sharps or flats ( Use the Circle of Fifths pg. 49)
Draw them in the correct ORDER on the staff. (see order of sharps & flats)
***IF GIVEN A MINOR KEY, FIRST COUNT UP 3 TO FIND THE MAJOR KEY***

Circle of Fifths - An organizational tool to help categorize all 15 Key Signatures
Sharps are listed from 0 - 7 to the Right
Flats are listed from 1-7 to the Left
All sharp keys are natural except 6 & 7 F# & C#
All flat keys are flat except 1 , F major
C is all or nothing
C = 0 sharps or flats
C# = 7 sharps
Cb = 7 flats

Dotted Rhythms pg. 25
The dot makes a note worth its VALUE + HALF of its value
Another way to think of this equation is by thinking of its value as 3 of the VALUE below it on the rhythm tree.
IE: a Dotted Half note is worth 3 because it equals 3 Quarter Notes
