A major scale

The signature of an A Major scale or key.

We have advanced from the key of C, by stepping five tones upward to G, the scale that has one sharp; next to D
with two sharps; and now we will proceed to A, with three sharps. The teacher will ask the pupil to write out the A
scale, and explain why three sharps must be used.
