Melody 1 - Bb major(starts and ends on Bb, 2 flats in key signature) Melody 2 - F# minor(starts and ends on F#, 3 sharps in key signature) Melody 3 - Db Major(starts and ends on Db, no key signature to help) Melody 4 - C minor(starts on C, ends on G(which suggests that the melody is incomplete), 3 flats in key signature)
Mr. Teacher Sir, that was a delightful lesson, my brain celebrate understanding! One thing you've inspired me is to try and dump some familiar classical pieces and check their keys while writing some notes (instead of reading). I will also try to say "Circle O' Fits" from now on, since its not only easier to pronounce (being a non-native speaker), but also cooler :) Cheers and bless you
Hi. Yes that’s absolutely possible. If you go onto the website www.mmcourses.co.uk you can book a lesson then we can fix a time to meet. Look forward to it.

The last one I feel more like its modulating from Cm to C ending on G. I believe you could harmonize that melody with both the Gm and the G, is it possible?
It’s certainly possible to approach these things in different ways. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk including details of our online courses and of our exciting Maestros programme
I’m gonna go ahead and argue that the second phrase in the last example modulates to the dominant G maj, rather than Gm, but in this case I guess that’s down to one’s proclivities. Probably would have been more clear if you threw a Bb in there, Gareth 😉
It’s certainly possible that the second phrase could modulate to G major. Of course a Bb would have nailed it but I’m trying to make a point for those thinking this at a deeper level that Bb is there by harmonic implication.
I'm sorry, but I don't see how E# is in the key of F#m, if we're talking about the natural minor scale that is. I get the "minor" feeling when you play the melody, but just from reading it on paper I can't seem to tell that it's a minor key through the accidentals. That is of course, unless relative minor keys are flexible and not just natural minor, but harmonic minor or melodic minor as well. Then that would be a harmonic minor, right?
Actually, in your third example you also claim that since the 7th isn't raised, giving us an A natural for the minor key (Bb), it's probably a major key. Well then I don't get it, doesn't the natural minor scale have a flat seventh? Why would you be discarding the Bb natural minor? By that logic shouldn't we be discarding Am as the relative minor to C even though it has the same notes, but since it doesn't have a raised 7th then it falls under the same case as this one.
Hi. Ok. If we use the natural minor we simply use the notes of the key signature. Most music uses a combination of harmonic and melodic minor. In the harmonic minor the 7th note is raised going up and down (hence E# in F# minor). In the melodic minor we raise the 6th and 7th degrees in the ascending scale and reinstate the key signature when descending. So in Bb minor, for example, A natural would appear in the harmonic minor, and in the melodic minor we might find G natural or Gb, and A natural or Ab.
@@MusicMattersGB Oh, alright. So what you're looking for is whether it's in the major key of the key signature or if it's in any of the minor keys of the key signature, right? Thanks for the quick response! Great videos as always :)
Okay in exercise number 2, the key signature looks like the key could be A Major or its minor, which is F sharp minor, because there are three sharps on the exercise. But that doesn't seem to be the case here. The exercise begins and ends with an F. There is an E sharp on the exercise. I think I got it up to here. But from here, I am a bit not sure. So do I go up six notes from E sharp to find the key??? I am trying to understand this exercise sir.

Thanks for your kind words. See www.mmcourses.co.uk for much more.
Hello sir is it possible to take few lessons of you on modulation thank you
Hi. Yes that’s absolutely possible. If you go onto the website www.mmcourses.co.uk
you can book a lesson then we can fix a time to meet. Look forward to it.
That was very enjoyable detective work. I never knew that trick of going back one step in a key signature. Very handy!

Thank you so much. Kindly please explain why number 4 is a key of C flat on the first measure? I thought it was A flat.
The first half is in C minor; the second half is in G minor.
@@MusicMattersGB Great, thank you. Please continue to enlighten us. You are a wonderful teacher! 😊

@@MusicMattersGB understood. I guess I just get the old eye twitch when there’s more than one correct answer on an exam question lol
That’s good!

Sorry I meant F sharp. The second exercise starts and ends with F sharp
okay. I think i got exercise 2 : key F sharp minor
Okay. Exercise does not look like it is in C major or in A minor. It is full of flats. Need to do some detective work.
F # harmonic minor, because without the e#, will be natural minor key. :c
