Thank you, it was A Major help!

Me: the music is confusing Key signature : Oh, you haven't seen anything yet

I learned more from this 8 minute video about key signatures than I could in a quarter of theory lessons, then again I wasn't trying that hard

another easy way to figure out the key signature is just taking the last sharp (lets say for the key of C# the last sharp would be on the B) and just go up by one note. For flats you can just look at the second to last flat and that would be the key signature.

The sharps - Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle The flats - Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles Father Its the same but just reversed.

I feel like I've been waiting for someone to teach me this my entire life

This is So amazing and So simple! No more struggling to memorize key signatures....thank you for sharing!

THANK YOU!! You taught this so good. I was so confused from watching other people videos of sharps and flats, but this one helped a lot!!!

I played for for many (many) years in my childhood and forgotten an easy way to figure this out. Your video was very easy to understand and your humorous approach made it easy to remember!

This video is exactly what I have been looking for, as I expand my range while playing trumpet. This lesson on reading key signatures and identifying same, is very concise. Excellent video!

I love listening to intelligent people explain things

I have been playing music for 40+ years and my mind is blown.

THIS WAS GREAT HELP. I was so worried about my test tomorrow in music theory and I was so worried I could never memorize them in time but this video gave me a way to learn it without straining my brain.THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Thank you thank you thank SO much for this. My music theory midterm is this Tuesday and I have been stressing because I didn’t understand key signatures at all. This helped me TREMENDOUSLY!! 💜

How awesome! Thank you! I needed a method to figure this out for an upcoming music test.

this was the first time i've ever learnt about key signatures and actually looked at a few other videos first. Although the previous videos were ok, this video was the most structured and simplified explanation i have watched. Great job! bm - Canada

mind blowing! Thank you so much!

Thank you, brilliant way!

Very practical lessons; easy to follow. Right to the point. Very visual. Thank you!!!

This was absolutely awesome! Thanks so much!

Clear and simple - excellent work!

Omg you are actually saving my life in music theory at high school right now, I just found this channel but it has already helped me a ton! A massive thank you from the Netherlands!

That was totally worth watching! Thank you!!

Thank you so much!!!! What an awesome trick!!!!

This is brilliant! Thank you so much I have a theory exam in a day and I have a great anxiety about theory as Im not confident in applying my theory skills. So this I think will help!! Thank you x

Very helpful! Thank you! 🙂🤗

Big help. Thanks!

Super helpful n mind blowing!

Thanks for your enlightenment on Key Signatures. Well done!!!

Wow, what a clever technique for determining key signatures! I never knew how to easily name them before this video. Thank you for helping to make my music universe more orderly!

Amazing!Thank you

I’ve been playing piano for decades and this was news to me! Thanks for sharing

Awesome and thank you so much. just made things so much easier......

Thanks for tip, it's very helpful.

It helped sooo much! Thank you!

Thank you so much! this made knowing the key signature so much easier!

love it! this is such a nice thing I can share with friends to help them learn the basics!

Thank you so much!!!! 💗

Wooowwww!!!! Thank you so much! If I get this down, I'll be pretty excited!!! And you are a good explainer/teacher🥰

Thank you so much! I recently recieved a piece with a one flat key signature, and i was so confused! But this helped alot!

your phonetic pronunciation of BEADGCF is very helpful! For the sharps I just made the sentence... "Felix (the) Cat Gets Down Around Every Bend." I took theory in high school but in my class every year we were always goofing around and the material never really sunk in, so thanks for the refreshment course! :) new subscriber!

thank you so much for this trick and your channel. I was looking for this kind of help since too long.

My teacher shows even easier method to figure out what key it is in. Just take the last key in the key signature and add a whole tone to it for the sharp. For example, key signature on F, then it's G major. Last key signature on G, then it's A major. Last key signature on D, then it's E major. Last key signature on E, then it's F# major. For flat, it is the second to last one. For example, key signature on B and E then it's Bb. Key signature on B E A and D then it is Ab major (A is second to last) This is helpful to quickly identify it when looking at the score without having to draw out FCGDAEB. I always remember it as Funny Cat Goes Dancing And Eats Bananas.

OMG THIS HELPS! THANK YOU!

I really appreciate your personality and enthusiasm for the technique, the technique itself being a slow learner that I am, I will need to review a few times and hopefully memorize

Very helpful vid. Thanks!

This just helped me so much you have no idea!!! Thank You!!

Thank you so much! I'm studying for a huge test and this video was awesome!

THIS HELPED SO MUCH THANK YOU DOUG AND pianoTV THIS HELPED SO MUCH

Thank you for this, It helped a lot.

this is AMAZING!!! Yes!

Super helpful!!!!!

That was lots of help thank you!! I will definitely subscribe :)

Very Helpful! I need to watch this and practice a bit more but it makes sense -- especially when you remember that all musical theory is based on mathematics, I'm sure there are all sorts of "tricks" like this throughout music theory.

This video helped me to understand the key signatures in a much more simple way. Thank you.

Wow. This is very helpful. Currently taking a late beginner student through Thompson's Scale Speller. I was looking for a way to explain the order of flats without causing confusion. Thank you!!

That is very cool! Thanks

Mind has blown a fuse. Brilliant way to present this.

Not just mindblowing! Totally earth crackening, cloud shattering, leaf strippening trick!

Cool trick, lovely teacher !

Brilliant!

Wow best music lesson I seen on youtube

Thank you it's super helpful

Yo omg I love youuuu forever 😂 u saved my life just now‼️😩🤘🏼

It's a good technique. I'll add it to my other techniques that I know. I just haven't used this is so long, and I'm going from a casual musician to a more serious one. Thank you. Oh, nice program, and I'm jealous of your piano. I just have s keyboard.

good lord thank you so much! I have a theory exam on sharp key signatures Tuesday and I was freaking out. AH! NOT ANYMORE! A MILLION TIMES THANK YOU!!!!

This is brilliant ^___^ thank you !

So helpful!!😁😁😁😁😁😁👍👍👍

It is very exciting! Never knew this trick) finally an easy way to remember all of it ;)

Awesome!

Great clear presentation, good teaching skills!

PianoTV you guys are my heros!!!!!!!

ILOVE YOU, you are the best. thank you, i struggled a lot to find this but now I am OK. Ilove you

Amazing video!!! Helped me so much for my music exam!!!

thank you so much!

i needed this!

THANK YOU SO MUCH I HAVE A BIG HUGE CHOIR TEST TOMORROW AND I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THIS AT ALL AND THIS VIDEO MADE IT SO CLEAR TO ME THANK YOU FOR POSTING IT I'M ACTUALLY CRYING BECAUSE I'M SO HAPPY I FINALLY UNDERSTAND THIS MY CHOIR TEACHER WAS BEING SUPER ANNOYING AND CONFUSING AND I ALMOST BROKE DOWN LAST CLASS BECAUSE I WAS SO LOST AND OH MY GOSH THANK YOU SO MUCH :-) :-)

In all the time I was helping my son with his music theory I never came across this simple awesome trick, Thank you. A mnemonic for the flats would be the same as for sharps but in reverse.

AmAzing thank you

This is really amazing!!

I litterally love you Im cramming for a theroy test tommorow!

Love how you teach :)

Thank u this helped a lot😊😊

Omg that's soo cool I'm going to show my teacher your channel!!! I think she'all love it!

The bomb! This is so amazing!

THANK YOU

OMG..... thanks so much ...music made easy

For me, it's easier to just remember the order of sharps as Father Charles Goes Down After Every Battle (I've also seen Father Charles Goes Down And Eats Breakfast) - since it's a complete sentence. Then I remember "Sharps skip forward. Flats step forward" Essentially move forward two for sharps and one for flats. That way I don't have to worry about the reverse order and going backward for flats.

thanks very helpful

this video is so so helpful

This will make sense to me as soon as I get over my embarrassment at not remembering it from my childhood piano lessons when I knew it cold and when I get over being angry with myself for not having kept up my practicing for so many years.

Thank you so much will really help me on my test

This one was really great.

great video really useful thanks

Very helpful

Thank you
