I saw a wallaby. It was brown and had spots on its back and I got about five metres away from it! A few days later I saw another two wallabies, a mother and her joey. The joey was about half the size of its mother and it was so cute!But they bounded off very quickly.

I wanted to write a simple introduction to keys and key signatures as a way of helping my children as they started learning the theory side of playing music.  Let’s face it, once you’ve decided to move beyond playing the standard introduction1 to an instrument and actually learn it you don’t get far before at least encountering a key signature.
