In the Western tradition of music, there are basically twelve keys, corresponding to the twelve notes of the chromatic scale on a keyboard instrument (ie C, C#, D, D#...etc all the way up to C again). But as these can be either major or minor, we end up with a total of 12 major + 12 minor = 24 possible keys.
