How To Determine Major Key
• Flats– The next to the last flat is the Major key.
• Sharps– Last sharp is the “Ti” of the Major scale.
How To Determine Major Key
• Flats– With the exception of F Major, every other
flat major key has “flat” as part of its name.
– This is because the name of the key is flatted in the key signature.
• Sharps– F# and C# Major are the only two sharp
majors that have “sharp” as part of its name.
