pleasant to hear. It is also an expression of the musician’s feelings and views.

discusses to the up and down movement of tones placed on the staff.

Key of F Major – it is a major scale that uses one flat (b). It is based on F.

In identifying the key signature of a song, always remember that it is named

after the letter name where the sofa syllaba DO is. The key signature tells us the
position of the DO on the staff. It also opens the places of the remaining pitches.

Scale of F Major
The sofa syllaba DO in the Key of F is found on the F space or on the first space of the

Do is on the F line.
