11. Finding Do – Example 1 Step 1 – Write down which sharps have been used. FCG

12. Finding Do – Example 1 Step 2 – Find the last sharp. Last sharp = G # FCG

13. Finding Do – Example 1 Step 3 – Go to the next letter in the alphabet Last sharp = G # Next Letter A FCG

14. Finding Do – Example 1 Step 4 –The next letter = Do Last sharp = G # Next Letter A A = Do FCG

15. Finding Do – Example 1 Step 5 – Has “A” been used? Sharps used – F C G No “A” used so A = Do FCG

16. Finding Do – Example 2 Step 1 – Write down which sharps have been used. FCGDAEB

17. Finding Do – Example 2 Step 2 – Find the last sharp. Last sharp = B # FCGDAEB

18. Finding Do – Example 2 Step 3 – Go to the next letter in the alphabet Last sharp = B # Next Letter C FCGDAEB

19. Finding Do – Example 2 Step 4 –The next letter = Do Last sharp = B # Next Letter C C = Do FCGDAEB

20. Finding Do – Example 2 Step 5 – Has “C” been used? Sharps used – F C G D A E B YES “C” is used so C # = Do FCGDAEB
