Best Answer

Flatten the third and seventh notes in the scale. Therefore, if you're in the key of A major the notes are A, B, C#, D, E, F#, G#, A. Therefore, flattening the 3 and 7, you end up with A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A.

By the way, Am is the relative minor of the key of Cmajor, which has no sharps or flats.
