A sharp flat or natural note that is not in the key signature?

A sharp, flat or natural outside the key signature is called an accidental. They are commonly used both for chromatic movement within the song (i.e. sharping the seventh in a minor key when resolving to the first) and for keychanges that will only last a few measures, such as using a run in Csharp to move from C to D.


How is the order of sharps and flats used?

the order of sharps and flats are both used to write out the order in a key siganture on a piece of music (for example: the key of d has two sharps, f and c, so in the key signature, you see a sharp for f and a sharp for c) Also, when you're looking at the key signature, you can use the order to find out what key the song is in. For sharps, you look at the last sharp in the key signature, and go up one letter in the musical alphabet. if that note is not sharped, then that letter is the key. if it is sharped, then it's that letter, sharped (for example: key of c sharp, fcgdaeb are the sharps: you go up one from b and it's c, but c is already sharp, so it's the key of c sharp) For flats, you look at the second to last flat in the key signature, and that's the key that it's in. if there's only one flat, it's b flat, and the key is f. i hope this helped!!

What is a good way to know what major and minor key signature you are in?

The key signature can be found at the beginning of a staff right after the clef. There are a couple shortcuts one can take to determine the key of a peice based on how many sharps or flats there are in a given key signature. If the key signature is composed of sharps, then one can determine the key based on the position of the last sharp (the rightmost sharp). Using the solfege scale (Do, Re, Mi, etc... --think "Sound of Music") The Key of the song will be on Do. i.e, if a song is in the key of C, then Do will be on C. Key of G, do will be on G. In a key signature composed of sharps, the last sharp will be on Ti, which is one note below Do. So, if the last sharp is an F#, then the key will be G. If the last sharp is a C#, then the key will be D. If the last sharp is a G#, then the key will be A. if the last sharp is a D#, then the Key will be E. If a key signature is composed of flats, one can determine the key based on the position of the second to last flat. One can find this by first finding the last flat (the rightmost flat) and then finding the flat imediately previous. The second to last flat will be the key. If there are two flats, then the last flat will be Eb, the flat previous to the last will be Bb. The song will be in the key of Bb. If there are three flats. The last flat is Ab, the second to last is Eb, the Key is Eb. Four flats, last flat is Db, second to last is Ab. The key is Ab. If there is one flat. The song is in the key of F. If there are no sharps or flats, the song is in the key of C. This is the easy method to determine a key signature. One can also use a chart called the Circle of Fifths. One can find this by typing "Circle of Fifths" into an internet search engine. Starting at the Key of C, every sharp moves the key up a fifth, every flat moves the key down a fifth. If there is one sharp, the key will be one fifth above C, which is the Key of G. A second sharp will move the key up one fifth from G, which is the Key of D. If there is one flat, the hey will be one fifth below C, which is the key of F. A second flat will move the key one fifth below F, which is the Key of Bb. Please Note, these methods are for finding MAJOR keys. Another popular scale is the MINOR scale. Each key signature will have a major and minor scale. Keys are frequently named by their major scale. i.e., the key of F, refers to an F major scale. To find a minor key, first find it's correspinding major key. If there are no flats or sharps, then one knows that the Key is C Major. To find the correspinding minor key of C Major, count three half- steps down from C. Three half-steps down from C is the note A. If there are no sharps or flats, then the Key is either C Major or a minor. Minor chords and keys are frequently notated with a lowercase letter, while major chords and keys are frequently notated by an Uppercase letter. If there is one sharp, one knows that the key is G Major. Three half-steps down from G is E. So the key is either G Major or e minor. One flat is the key of F Major. Three half-steps down from F is D. So the key is either F Major or d minor. The major scale, and minor scale are the two most popular scales. So a song will usually either be in a major or minor key. To determine whether the key of a song is major or minor, one must analyze the tonal center of the song. If the song seems to resovle to a minor chord, then it is mostly likely in a minor key. If the song seems to resolve to a major chord, then the song is most likely in a major key. In a three-note major chord, the first interval will be a Major 3rd. The second interval will be a minor 3rd. In a three-note minor chord, the first interval will be a minor 3rd, and the second interval will be a Major 3rd.

How do you get the key signatures of a song?

What tells you how many sharps and flats there are in a song?

Key Signature. You can usually find the key signature after the clef sign at the beginning of the music sheet. Some music or piano music suddenly changes keys and it is also usually presented in the same way although the first key signature will be represented by a the neutral symbol to emphasize that is no longer a sharp or a flat key.
