@niken20 yeah do that.

[niken20]

@realjuvelive p.s. sorry for the long comment but if your still confused i can make a video for ya to clear up your mind..haha!!

[niken20]

@realjuvelive yup.even though both keys has B flat.try playing the scales F major first starting the root note F and then play the scale D minor with the root note D.you'll notice the difference there.When it comes to compositions you'll start using chords.There is a difference between the chords present in F major and D minor key and it is known as chordscales.Kinda like scales but played with chords.it is complicated!hope it helps!

i think i get it why a lot of people are lost. she does not explain everything in detail. For example when she says go up a perfect 4th she didn't explain what is that and how to obtain that etc. I think the best way to learn key signature is by searching for a key signature chart and memorize the sharps and flats present in the particular key. Make acronames to make memorizing easier. i don't know that was how i learn it and i could straight away apply it on any instrument.
