Scales & Key Signatures | what's the difference?

#scales #musictheory #producer
Don't confuse the map for the terrain. Key signatures are useful, but there's a better way to think of scales.

I'm fairly new to understanding music and music theory, but the analogy between the map and terrain really nailed the difference for me! thanks so much

Thank you so much, I am loving your videos. I did music at secondary school and still play but your explanations have made these concepts far more real and understandable!

I was trying to find out how they are related and i searched how they are different. I think i figured it out though.
The key signature shows what notes in the associated scale are sharped or flatted then you figure out what scale has those same sharped of flatted notes. Is there an easy way to match the key signature to the associated scsle?

[@ImpliedMusic]

That is literally the way. Most people memorize the scale/key signature pairs. There are a couple tricks but it’s a small finite set so I generally recommend brute force memorization

Hola. Gracias por su video. Cuando estoy explorando un modo en particular, y quiero transcribir al pentagrama la melodía que obtuve, ¿se puede omitir "la armadura" y escribir las notas alteradas (sostenidos o bemoles) directamente en el pentagrama conforme van apareciendo? Saludos cordiales desde Cuernavaca, México

[@ImpliedMusic]

absolutamente. si la transcripción es solo para ti, no hay problema. después de transcribirlo, tal vez puedas descubrir la clave y volver a escribir para otros músicos.

@@ImpliedMusic muchas gracias

Hola. Algo más sobre las armaduras. Para los modos Dórico, Frigio, Lidio, Mixolidio y Locrio, ¿también tienen armaduras? O, ¿cómo se obtiene la armadura para estos modos.? Gracias y saludos.

[@ImpliedMusic]

los modos normales toman las firmas de clave de sus escalas principales. por ejemplo, D dorian toma la tonalidad de Do mayor. ¿Eso ayuda?
