• These are the Simple BEAT PATTERNS of Song Leading
The Chromatic Scale of a The Range:
Pitch Pipe:
The range of this pitch pipe is from C
below the treble staff to the C found on the
third space of the treble staff.
The “Do” position is given in twelve
different keys.
All the keys are found in our songbook.
Key Signature:
• The group of sharps or flats at the beginning of a song is the key signature. This
indicates the key of the song. For instance, if a key signature contains three flats,
the flats are positioned on B, E, and A. This means that all B's E's, and A's in the
song are flatted without requiring the flat symbol on each note. The number of the
sharps or flats determines the key.
Flats: The next to last flat is your key.

• You
will have to remember which ones are sharped
or flatted.
• (Note that the key of F-sharp and G-flat is the same
key).
• Also, no sharps or flats in the key signature is the
key of C.
• Another way to determine the key is to scan
through the first score and find the note with the
"do“ shape, explained later. That is the key note.
• Practice exercise:
• Harmony is based on the Triad
• To understand the TRIAD (this is 1/3 and 1/5
above the starting key. – Do, Mi, So.
• EXAMPLE THE KEY is C:
• Do = C
• Mi = E
• So = G
• Practice – the Key of G
• Do =
• Mi =
• So =
