Key Signatures - By guitarelements.com

You have learned by applying various accidentals to produce the desire "Half and Whole step pattern".
The Sharps or Flats use in a particular scale maybe group together and placed on the staff immediately right after the Clef Sign. This is called Key Signature.
With a key signature, it is not necessary to apply accidentals to each altered note.

The study of scale can be based on Key Signatures alone. It is advisable to study in details and understand key Signatures.
