Order Of Sharps

[NobodyHasThisNick]

Example: Take C major C, D, E, F, G, A, B, (C) T T S T T T S Swap one T with S, to get shifted pattern: C, D, E, F#, G, A, B, (C)  T T T S T T S Shift pattern back to original G, A, B, C, D, E, F#, (G) T T S T T T S You have G major now. Notice two things: 1. You have perfect fifth between C and G. 2. Sharp appeared at 7th position - which is always true for major scale. For minor/dorian it's different spot For flat, you would swap other S, get B-flat and key of F.

Signatures are simple to understand:

You have a scale pattern of intervals, for example TTSTTTS for major scale (T = whole tone between notes, S = semitone between notes). So you have two half steps. Now you try to take and swap order of one of these to get a new sharp/flat.

For sharp you'd now have: TTTSTTS. But you have to shift it, so that it matches the pattern. After you shift, tonic changes by fifth (7 semitones) - that's why it's called "circle of fifths".

how would you play those notes where they're stuck on the same stem? and im kind of confused on, if lets say we have a sharp, how do we know when to go back to normal? if a B is flattened, does a lower B get flattened too?
