Piano Playing Q & A
Piano Question of the MonthHow Do Key Signatures Work In A Piece?For Key Signatures, say it says sharp in the f column next to the treble staff but it doesn't have any f notes in that column so do you just not play any sharps or what?Maria's Answer: Hello, Yep that's right! A piece should always have a key signature (the sharps or flats grouped in the beginning of the staff). But it could happen that a piece like yours, written in G major (or the relative minor E minor), actually have no F's (the note that should be "sharp" if present).
