What does a key change in sheet music signify? I was at a violin lesson and the teacher was explaining to a student that there was a key change and I don't know what that means.

Thanks:) :)

Its kind of hard to explain

Basicially... You ever notice When you play a song there's a "Pattern" in the notes? That's basicially a Key, And so when there's a key change it's a different "pattern"

A key change is where the key signature will change and the sound of the music will be higher or lower than where it had been. It could also be that the key change might be due to a "happy" sound in the music changing to a "sad" sound. For instance, going from a Major key to one that is in a minor one. Sometimes the key signature doesn't change but there may be a change in key for a brief while.

Usually, a change of keys will involve using a chord progression of some kind to arrive at the new key, although, sometimes the changes can be abrupt without going through a progression of chords to arrive at the new key. The ending chord of the chord progression will almost always be the V7 chord of the key that the music is going to.

theguywithnolife is correct. It is kind of hard to explain.

If you know scales and the chords of those scales, it's easier to explain.

Do you know some scales and also the chords of the scales that you know?

Thanks!
