PURPOSE; To teach the 15 Major Key Signatures and Scales.

PRE-REQUISITE;

1. Circle Of Keys chart or worksheet.

2. Know the rules for finding the Major Keys
when looking at a key signature.

3. Be able to name the sharps and flats in the
order that they appear in the key signatures.

LESSON AND PROCEDURES;

1. Review Circle Of Keys and Key Signatures.

2. I give one student at a time a key signature
(for example; “five sharps”). The student will
name the five sharps in the key signature,
tell how to find the key, and name the key and
the major scale.

3. The student will then go to the Smart Board
and play that particular scale with the
required sharps (or flats) on the Smart Board.
The class can watch and listen to the scale
being played.

EVALUATION; The students stay on task much
better and have more fun with this lesson by
using the Smart Board. I could evaluate the
students by observing them in action, by
observing their performance, and by their
excitement.
