Etc...<br />B has 5 sharps so Bb has to have 2 flats and that equals 7.<br />F# has 6 sharps so F has to have 1 flat and that equals 7.<br /><br />I've made a handout for my students so they can clearly see what it looks like. I am sure this looks weird typed out like this, but my handout doesn't. : ) I would be happy to share it with anyone who would like to have it.Maries Piano Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04967546279492829372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1081903506390868358.post-54673705607495439892011-01-12T10:08:43.911-07:002011-01-12T10:08:43.911-07:00That is AWESOME!!!!That is AWESOME!!!!Jennifer Foxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13829142573868630309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1081903506390868358.post-16889903984202181302011-01-12T09:43:40.718-07:002011-01-12T09:43:40.718-07:00How clever!
