@Graham Acres Ok. So here is how I will *attempt* to explain it. I'm not great at this and might get it confused, but basically it shows the relationship between the 12 keys or pitches. Clockwise are sharps that go up, and counter clockwise are the flats that go down. It helps with understanding key signatures better, and is SUPPOSED to help with transposing and things of that nature. I just know that F has 1 sharp. And when I look at the key signature, however many sharps there are in the piece, I know it should be such and such key. Have 0 idea about the flats tbough. Haven't learned that. Hope this helps!

@Jenny O'Connor NOOOOO!!!! Where do I find it?

@Graham Acres the one that I miss AFTER I cancelled. I never even saw that one. I'm so embarassed. I scrolled all the way down and never saw that one. But, in my defense, my phone HAS been acting wonky lately and I don't see half the things that I should.

@Graham Acres it actually affects my playing greatly. But I have daily excersizes I perform to make my fingers playable. I also suffer from tendonitis in both elbows. My left goes all the way into my hand. No one knows though, because I just play through it and make sure to be super stretched out.

@Graham Acres this is ALLLLLL that I want to do. So, if it means playing through some pain, that's what I must do. My generation learned that even when we hurt, we won't accomplish what we want if we don't do it anyway. So I stretch, I work out, and I play. HOWEVER, because of my arthritis in both hands, I start out playing my scales and arpeggios. Warm up my fingers first. And thank you for saying that you wouldn't know it listening. That means that my hard work and practice are paying off!!

@Jenny O'Connor YASSSSSS! I stress over that stupid 5 note roll EVERY SINGLE TIME. It's nice to know it doesn't have to be in tune!

Keep going Mary!!! You're doing great!
