How do you make a major scale minor?
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.

How many sharps or flats are in the d-flat concert scale and what are they?
Sharps and flats follow a pattern of fifths, so it is not difficult to construct a list of all the sharps and/or all the flats. Additionally, there are simple tricks to determine which sharps or flats are in a key signature.Flat keys are called flat because they have flats in the key signature, while sharp keys have sharps, so you won't find any sharps in D-flat. But how many? Flats and sharps have their own patterns and tricks.First, flats:The key of C has no sharps or flats. The key of F, which is one fifth below C, has one flat, which is Bb. The key of Bb has two flats, Bb and Eb. The key of Eb has three flats, Bb, Eb, and Ab. The key of Ab has four flats, Bb, Eb, Ab, and Db. From here on out, the flats continue in this pattern: the next flat is one whole tone lower than the second-to-last previous flat. So the order of flats is: Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Cb, Fb, B-double-flat, etc.Sharps proceed in the same way, except that you ascend a fifth each time:C has no sharps or flats. Its leading tone is b. The key of G has one sharp, which is a fifth above b: F#. The key of D has two sharps, F# and the fifth above F#, which is C#. From here, it is the same pattern as the flats, except that each new sharp is one whole tone higher than the second-to-last previous sharp. So the order of sharps is: F#, C#, G#, D#, A#, E#, B#, F-double-sharp.The tricks are different for flats and sharps: For flat keys, the name of the key is the second-to-last flat in the signature. Thus, for the key of Bb, Bb is the second-to-last flat, and the last one (from the list above) is Eb. Thus, Key=Bb, flats are Bb and Eb. For Cb, there must be seven flats (logical, if C is flat, everything must be flat!) and the flats are Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Cb, Fb.For sharps, the key name is one half-tone higher than the last sharp. So for the key of G, the last sharp must be F# (which is the first in the list). For the key of E, the last sharp is D#, so the sharps will be F#, C#, G#, D#, four sharps.So now you can figure out the sharps or flats in any key. Specifically for Db, the key signature will have Db as the second-to-last flat; from the list, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, making a total of five flats.
Which major and minor keys have three flats in their key signatures?
The keys of Eb Major and c minor have three flats in their key signatures: Bb, Eb, and Ab.
What are the three components of a key?
Here is the way I see it: I) How many sharps/flats do I have? You should always find the major key first II) What mode am I playing in? In other words, what note of the major scale does the song resolve to? Typically speaking, you have either a major key or a minor key but there may be times where the song doesn't resolve to the I (major key) or the vi (minor key) chord/note. This is called a mode. If I'm not in Bb Ionian (major), I'm in C Dorian, D Phrygian, Eb Lydian, F mixolydian, G aeolian (minor), or A Locrian. All of these key signatures have Bb and Eb. However each mode resolves to a different note of the scale
How do you find the key signature of a major?
Step 1) Find the first note (the tonic) of the Major Key you want (A,B,C...)Step 2) Go up the notes as follows, where a tone is 2 notes (including sharps and flats) and where a semitone is one note (including sharps and flats)...Tone - Tone - Semitone - Tone - Tone - Tone - Semitone.Step 3) You should have arrived back at the starting note (the tonic) but 1 octave higher up. Those notes together form the scale of your selected note in Major form. The sharps/flats of the scale are the ones notated on the stave to show the Key Signature.Step 4) To find out whether to refer to the black notes as # (sharps) or b (flats), either see my list below OR look at a diagram showing the Circle Of Fifths - all the Major and Minor Keys. Major keys on the left are written using b (flats) and those on the right with # (sharps).C Major = NaturalG Major = F#D Major = F#, C#A Major = F#, C#, G#E Major = F#, C#, G#, D#B/Cb Major = F#, C#, G#, D#, A# / (Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Cb, Fb)F#/Gb Major = F#, C#, G#, D#, A#, E# / (Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Cb)Db/C# Major = Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb / (F#, C#, G#, D#, A#, E#, B#)Ab Major = Bb, Eb, Ab, DbEb Major = Bb, Eb, AbBb Major = Bb, EbF Major = BbC Major = Natural
