Minor Key Signatures

Although it is possible to construct natural minor scales using accidentals there is a short hand method to indicate these accidentals.

A key signature is a collection of sharps or flats placed at the beginning of a staff that indicates that each time the indicated note is played, it should be affected by the accidental.

For example:
If a single flat is in the key signature (B-flat), every time a B is written on the staff it will be played as B-flat.

The same holds true for sharps or flats.
