12tone

Almost all music revolves around the idea of a key, but just what is a key anyway? Well, it's kind of like a scale, but a bit more specialized. In this month's building blocks, we dive into what keys are, how they work, and how we use them to help out with our notation, including key signatures and one of the most famous memory aids in all of music, the Circle of Fifths!
