60+ Accidentals & Key Signature Worksheets – Sharps, Flats, Circle of Fifths

Item description

Are your students struggling to understand why key signatures have sharps or flats instead of just memorizing them?

This 60+ worksheet pack is designed for intermediate to early advanced music students who need a deeper, structured understanding of accidentals, key signatures, and tonal organization across treble, bass, and alto clefs.

Unlike basic school worksheets, this resource is built for instrument-based music theory classes (piano, strings, winds, voice, and more), where theory supports real musical reading and playing.
