How to figure out the key of a song by ear?
To figure out the key of a song by ear, listen for the note that sounds like the "home" or most resolved note. This is usually the first or last note of the song, or the note that feels most stable. Once you identify this note, you can determine the key by finding the major or minor scale that starts on that note.
What is a major or minor in music?
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.
How to tell the key of a song by ear?
To tell the key of a song by ear, listen for the note that sounds like the "home" or resting note. This is usually the last note of the song or the note that feels most resolved.

Is hallelujah Leonard Cohen minor or major key?
It's on a MAJOR KEY reason been that after progressing through several pitcĥes (notes) the music ends in "doh". This basically established a major scale tonality for it. This arrangement reflects both at the end of each verse and chorus in the music. For instance, at the end of the first verse, the line "...baffled king composing Halleluyah" has the solfege r r r r m m m r r d The progression "r" (supertonic) to "d" (tonic) clearly shows that this section of the music was built on the major scale. Also, at the chorus section, the last phrase "... halleluyah " has the solfege l s m r d Again, this section has the supertonic-tonic progression on the major scale. To probe further, the chord progression in the song all leads to the tonic chord on the major key. You can check for more by watching relected video lesson on my Y o u T u b e channel- @ ola krystax

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.
What is the harmonic minor of D flat major?
To make the Eb scale minor you would add 3 flats. Thus the Eb minor scale would have the flats of B,E,A,D,G and C. The last three flats, the Db, Gb, and the Cb, are the minor notes. If your Eb scale is already minor with only two flats, then the minors are Bb, Eb, and Ab.
What is an interval on a scale?
An interval is the distance between 2 notes or pitches. There can be perfect, major, minor, diminished or augmented intervals. A perfect interval includes a unison, 4th, 5th and octave (P1, P4, P5, P8). A major interval (M2, M3, M6, M7) means that the top note is included in that bottom note's major scale (C to A is a Major 6th). A minor interval (m2, m3, m6, m7) means that the top note is included in the bottom note's minor scale (C to Eflat is a minor third). Diminished and augmented intervals are going to appear with perfect 4ths and 5th most often (C to Gflat is a d5, C to Fsharp is an A4). These last two are also known as tritones.
What is a key in piano?
A key in piano is the black a or white object that can be pressed down to create sound. A key can also mean a certain number of notes that can be played together, creating a scale, cadence and arpeggios. When you talk about the key of a particular piece, if the piece has no sharps or flats, it in in the key of C Major or A Minor. (There are other modes, but I won't get into them.) If the key has flats, the Major key is a Minor fourth (6 half steps) down from the last flat, and the minor key is a minor third, 4 half steps below that. If the key has sharps, the Major key is one half step up from the last sharp, and the Minor key is a minor third 4 half steps below that.
What are the notes in a G minor scale?
Minor scales are a little weird, because they actually come in three flavors: natural minor, melodic minor, and harmonic minor. Melodic minor is particularly weird because the notes are different if you're going up the scale than if you're going down the scale! In all cases, the first five notes are the same, it's only the last two where things get weird. For the natural minor, the notes of G minor are: G-A-Bb-C-D-Eb-F-G. For melodic minor, if you're going up the scale, it's: G-A-Bb-C-D-E-F#-G, but going down the scale, it's the same as natural minor. Harmonic minor is probably the least used, and I don't remember the exact rules. I think it might be G-A-Bb-C-D-Eb-F#-G. The key signature for a minor key, though, will be that of the natural minor. So G minor will have two flats.
What is it called when there is a major chord after a minor part in a song?
It depends on context. If the piece continues in minor after the major chord, it was probably a half cadence on a major V chord. If the very last chord of a minor piece is major, that's called a Picardy 3rd.
Which scale minor has 2 sharps?
There are 3 sharps in A major. How do I know? First you must understand that F C G D A E B are all the sharps. If A major has 3 sharps the last sharp would be G sharp. Then don't skip any black keys or white and just go to the right one step. So G sharp go to the right is A and that is your scale. The first note of the scale like example C is the name of the scale. Note: The key of C major has No sharps or flats and therefore has No key signature! P'S. I hope my advice helps.
