Key Signatures are usually found after the clefs. There are both on the bass and the treble clef.
A key signature indicates which key a piece should be played in.
After the clef sign, before the time signature.
The key signature tells you what the quality of each note in the piece will be (sharp, flat, or natural).
A major key sounds more bright and cheerful than a dark, evil minor key signature. There are 12 major key signatures (C, F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, B, E, A, D, and G). To identify whether a piece is minor, look at the key signature. If the name of the key signature is the name of the last note, then you are in a major key signature. If it is not, chances are you are in a minor key signature.
This will depend on what version you are listening to, looking at.
The reason Toccata for Band has no written key signature is because the piece shifts throughout many different modes and key centers. Rather than determining a key to write the piece in, it is simply easier to write in the accidentals.

It shows which notes in a piece are natural, sharp, or flat. Without a key signature, every single accidental would have to be written in instead.
A key signature, accidentals, a piece of music.
An accidental is a mark used to show a note that is out-of-key. A key signature is a set of "permanent" sharps or flats at the beginning of a piece that tell you what key it's in.
You can tell the difference between a key signature in major or minor based on the number of sharps or flats in the key signature. A major key signature typically has more sharps or fewer flats, while a minor key signature typically has fewer sharps or more flats. Additionally, the key signature in major often corresponds to the major scale, while the key signature in minor often corresponds to the relative minor scale.
The sharps and flats before a clef sign is the "key signature" of the music. They tell you which notes in the music are to be played sharp or flat (in other words what "key" the music is in). For any more information feel free to visit my website www howard-evans-music-tuition.co.uk.

A key signature is the number of sharps or flats in a piece of music. For example C Major has no sharps G Major has 1 Sharp F Major has 1 Flat B flat Major has 2 Flats In a piece of music The key signature is put after the Clef (e.g. treble clef) and before the time signature (2/4)In musical notation, a key signature is a series of sharp or flat symbols placed on the staff, designating notes that are to be consistently played one semitone higher or lower than the equivalent natural notes unless otherwise altered with an accidental. Key signatures are generally written immediately after the clef at the beginning of a line of musical notation, although they can appear in other parts of a score, notably after a double bar. Key signatures are generally used in a score to avoid the complication of having sharp or flat symbols on every instance of certain notes. Each major and minor key has an associated key signature that sharpens or flattens the notes which are used in its scale. However, it is not uncommon for a piece to be written with a key signature that does not match its key, for example, in some Baroque pieces,[1] or in transcriptions of traditional modal folk tunes.[2]
It means that five notes are sharp in the piece.
