There are a total of fifteen keys in Western music. Keys come with two forms, sharp keys and flat keys and one comes with all naturals. The complete list of major keys are shown below: C major (or A minor) - no sharps/flats G major (E minor) - 1 sharp D major (B minor) - 2 sharps A major (F-sharp minor) - 3 sharps E major (C-sharp minor) - 4 sharps B major (G-sharp minor) - 5 sharps F-sharp major (D-sharp minor) - 6 sharps C-sharp major (A-sharp minor) - 7 sharps F major (D minor) - 1 flat B-flat major (G minor) - 2 flats E-flat major (C minor) - 3 flats A-flat major (F minor) - 4 flats D-flat major (B-flat minor) - 5 flats G-flat major (E-flat minor) - 6 flats C-flat major (A-flat minor) -7 flats There you go, those are all the different keys you can write in!
E flat
D major has 2 sharps: F and C. D minor has none; it has 1 flat.
A♯ minor has the maximum seven sharps, but A♯ major has 10 'sharps', 4 sharps and three *double* sharps, so B-flat major will be preferable with only two flats.
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)
There are no flats or sharps. Its relative major scale is C major, which has all of the same notes.
There aren't any sharps in c minor - there are three flats, b flat, e flat and a flat.
E flat. The way to figure it out is to go three half steps up from C. So the major key for D minor would be F, the major for E minor would be G, etc...
Start in C major, parallel minor is C minor, relative major is E-flat major, parallel minor is E-flat minor, enharmonic respelling is D-sharp minor (which has 6 sharps).
The key with 6 flats is G flat major (this is the same as the key with 6 sharps: F sharp major). The relative minor is e flat minor (also called d sharp minor).
It varies by key, just like with major keys. There can be as few as one flat (D minor) or all seven flats (A-flat minor). Minor keys can have sharps too.
