What is A flat transposed down a major 2nd?

E A major second is equivalent to a whole note, or two semitones, and two semitones down from G-flat (which is enharmonically equivalent to F-sharp) is E, although it might be written as F-flat depending on the key signature. F-flat, E to G-flat would be a diminished 3rd, not a major second..


When a songs melody begins in the key of C major it should end in the key of?

The answer to this question is not always simple, however if you want a definite answer, look at the tips below: If you wanted to end on a perfect cadence, you should modulate to a G major chord and then move down to the tonic chord (C major). If you wanted to end on a plagal cadence, you would modulate up a fourth to a F major chord and then resolve on a C major chord. If you wanted to end on am imperfect cadence you simply modulate to the dominant chord (in this case G major) and end there. Finally, if you wanted to end on an interrupted cadence you modulate from the tonic chord (C major) to the relative minor, an A minor chord. So in most cases a song which began in C major should end in the tonic key (C major), however a song in C major can end in G major (an imperfect cadence) or in A minor (an interrupted cadence). Hope this helps.


What is the circle of fifth's in music?

The circle of fifths is a way of figuring out how many sharps/flats a key. Starting with C major, you go up a fifth and put a sharp on the seventh degree of the scale, which is F sharp - so the key of G major has one sharp. This can be done by going up a fifth from G to D, in D major the F sharp (third degree) is already present and again you add a sharp to the seventh note, C-sharp, thus D major has two sharps. This goes all the way round to C-sharp major, with all notes made sharp. You go down a fifth from C major to F major and lower the fourth degree, making the B a B flat, this F major has one flat. Again by going down a fifth from F is B flat and the fourth note is lowered so you lower the E to E flat, so B flat major has two flats. You keep going until you reach the key of C flat major, with all notes in the scale flat.
