A key signature is the placement of sharps or flats at the beginning of a piece of music which determines what the key of a song is and unlike the time signature it is repeated every line; here is a list of all the possible keys you can write in:

C Major/a minor (no sharps and no flats)

Sharp Keys:

G Major/e minor (1 sharp)

D Major/b minor (2 sharps)

A Major/f♯minor (3 sharps)

E Major/c♯minor (4 sharps)

B Major/g♯ minor (5 sharps)

F Major/d♯ minor (6 sharps)

C Major/a♯ minor (7 sharps)

Flat Keys:

F Major/d minor (1 flat)

Bb Major/g minor (2 flats)

Eb Major/c minor (3 flats)

Ab Major/f minor (4 flats)

Db Major/bb minor (5 flats)

Gb Major/eb minor (6 flats)

Cb Major/ab minor (7 flats)
