The iii chord in the Key of A Major is C# minor… not Db minor, even though those two chords sound alike.Ī C7 chord is spelled C-E-G-Bb NOT C-E-G-A#. Understand that Letter names of pitches must be listed in order in a scale and that all 7 must be used only once.
Think of them as Tonalities instead of Keys. They are scales that are all based on the Major Scale. There are 7 Sharps: F#, C#, G#, D#, A#, E#, and B# which give us the Major Keys of: G, D, A, E, B, F#, and C#.Įach Major Key (the Ionian Mode) has a relative minor (the Aeolian Mode), so we need to double the Total, giving us 30 Keys.īe careful not to confuse the other modes, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian and Locrian, with Keys. There are 7 Flats: Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Cb, Fb creating the Major Keys of F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb and Cb. As long as you know the order of Flats and the order of Sharps, it’s very easy to understand.Ĭonsider that there is ONE key with NO Sharps nor Flats: The Key of C It’s really quite logical and uses a bit of Music Theory knowledge. A quick Google search yields a wrong answer. For some reason, this is a question that many Musicians and Music Educators answer incorrectly.
