Welcome to the Signature Series.
Personality profiles of the key signatures of music.

Key signatures of music like G Major or F Sharp-minor, are kind of like the signs of the zodiac. And if you take all the music that's been composed in a specific 'key' over the centuries, you'll encounter certain characteristics. Characteristics that are very much like personalities.

Which key are you?
Find out by listening to The Signature Series (12 distinct five minute segments).

The Signature Series has attracted thousands of followers from around the world, and will make you rethink how classical music can work on the radio.

It's been broadcast on classical music radio, but also on morning talk shows across Canada. It works in a variety of formats.

Listeners from amateur music fans to professional music teachers are raving about how it's helped them (or their students) appreciate classical music as never before.

Over the centuries, many composers of western classical music have sworn that each key has its own personality. Each chapter in this series brings that personality to life, creating full-fledged fictional characters with rich life stories.

Each portrait is about five minutes long, and each key’s story is tied together by the most famous melodies composed in that key over the centuries, expertly woven together into a new musical journey.

Find your own personality in the classical music remixes of The Signature Series.
