Description
Learn ALL the Key Signatures
Learn them once, learn them right, quickly and forever.
We do a deep dive on the Circle of Fifths - the basis of all Music Theory
Why do I teach key signatures using the Circle of 5ths? Because it lays out the key signatures in a logical and easy-to-understand pattern.
You'll then use the Circle of 5ths to easily memorize all key signatures
Benefits of taking the Key Signature Boot Camp course:
Improves your sight-reading
Improves your playing technique, whether you play guitar, piano or other musical instrument
Improves your song-writing by giving you more tonal options
Improves your improvizing by understanding how the music is structured tonally.
You'll be able to:
explore more music - try out new pieces and songs with less effort
read sheet music much more easily - you'll find even C# Major a breeze!
write better songs because you won't be restricted to the same old keys
get more gigs if you're a working musician because you can read and play in any key
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
remember how many sharps/flats a key has
name the sharps and flats in order
write key signatures in treble and bass clef
write, understand and use the Circle of 5ths
work out a key signature using the Circle of Fifths
You'll have a thorough understanding of the basis of all music theory - the Circle of 5ths. From there, you can take your knowledge of music and music theory as far as you want, even to university level.
Who this course is for:
Self-taught piano players and guitar players
Instrumentalists that play by ear, whether amateur or professional
Music students that have taken an online course on piano or guitar (or other instrument)
Music students
Jazz players wanting to audition for formal music study
Working musicians who want more gigs
There's much more to life than C Major!
Q & A
What instrument, software and equipment do I need?
None. I provide you with everything you need to succeed, including work sheets, lectures and practice sessions.
Why a Boot Camp?
Learning key signatures is a bit like learning to ride a bicycle - you only have to learn it once. It's not like some subjects where it gets more complicated as it goes along. However, most people are taught just the easy key signatures first, such as C Major, so they get stuck with anything over 4 Sharps or Flats. By focusing exclusively on key signatures in a boot camp setting, not only will you learn and remember all of them, you'll have a thorough understanding of how they work.
What happens in the boot camp?
The course is a combination of short rote learning sessions, writing exercises, plus critical thinking exercises and theory lectures so you can make the logical connections for an in-depth understanding of music and how it works.
What if I don't have time to study every day?
Let's face it, learning can be hard work. That's why I created a 'boot camp' - to provide a structured learning experience so you can get the learning key signatures over and done with as quickly and painlessly as possible! But you can also work at your own pace. You'll still get the information you need to succeed at the course.
Who is the instructor?
I (Anne Plummer) am a musician whose entire career depends on being able to read music fluently. I wished I’d understood much earlier that there is a difference between music that is difficult to read versus music that is difficult to play. I know how complex written music can look, but with my unique approach, you’ll soon thoroughly understand even the most tricky key signature.
If you are unsatisfied with this course, you can ask for a full refund as there is a 30 day money back guaranteed by Udemy.
Reading music is a skill that will allow you to discover more of the music you love. Reading in any key signature with confidence will take you on an amazing musical journey. After taking this course, you’ll pick up your instrument and fly!
Thank you for checking out this course!
Enrol now to play more of the music you love and discover more music.
Kind regards,
