That’s a 5th higher than that, that’s a 5th higher than that, that’s a 5th higher than that: a perfect 5th. Notice the pattern there? Yeah, it’s up a 5th. If you have three sharps, F sharp, C sharp, and G sharp if you have four sharps, F sharp, C sharp, G sharp, and D sharp. Now if you have one sharp, it’s F sharp, but if you have two sharps, it’s F sharp and C sharp always. You’re in the key of G and that sharp is always F sharp. The reason it has one sharp is because it’s based on the scale of G that goes like that. When we get to sharps there’s a key that has one sharp, and that is the key of G. First of all, the key of C is not a sharp key. Again, there’s seven major sharp keys, not counting minor keys. Where’s the second to the last one? It’s A flat, isn’t it? So A flat is the key. In other words, if you have four flats, those four flats are always B-E-A-D. We said that to find the key in flats you take the second to the last flat and that is the key. Those are the seven possible flats and the flat keys you can play in. Looks like B but we’ve got to call it C flat. Then the last three are G flat, another up a 4th, and then C flat.

If there’s four flats, B, E, A, D, that spells the word bead. Do you notice a pattern? Sure, it’s up a 4th. Four flats: B flat, E flat, A flat, and D flat. If three flats, there’s B flat, E flat, and A flat. If there’s two flats, it’s always B flat and E flat. Remember what they were? That’s right, if there’s one flat it’s always B flat. We’ll take up minor keys later, but talking about major keys, there were seven flat keys. Yesterday we took up the flat keys and we said there’s seven possible flat keys. We’ve been doing a series called “Good Stuff You Really Ought to Know About Music.” One of the things you really ought to know about music are the sharp keys. Today we are going to cover all 7 sharp keys.Ĭlick on this link to watch this video on YouTube:
