Loving it so far Not sure if I misinterpreted the above post but I think there is an error Isn't the first sharp position G not F? Then D as mentioned above Just making sure The first major key is G major, and in the key of G major there is one sharp - F#. The second major key is D major, which has two sharps - F#,C#. So you keep the sharp you had before, and add one sharp. You are thinking of the names of key signatures, and Nina is thinking about which notes get "sharped" - hence the confusion. It is important to say "G major" rather than just "G" since there are major and minor keys.
