Key Signature Flashcards
• These are all key signatures in treble, bass and alto clef.• Instead of the usual handheld flashcards, I projected these from
my computer. Easier to use, always stayed nice, and all students could see better.
• Feel free to jazz it up, edit, add to, and shift slides around periodically to mix it up.
