To find the name of a key signature with sharps, look at the sharp farthest to the right. The key signature is the note a half step above that last sharp. Key signatures can specify major or minor keys. To determine the name of a minor key, find the name of the key in major and then count backwards three half steps.

To learn the order of sharps and flats in key signatures, simply remember these details: Sharps go up, while flats go down. (A sharp raises a note by a half step, while a flat lowers it.) The first sharp encountered in a key signature is F-sharp, while the first flat is B-flat.

The minor key include: a, e, b, f sharp, c sharp, g sharp, d sharp, a sharp, d, g, c, f, b flat, e flat, and a flat. How do you find key signatures? In Western musical sheet music, the key signature is located immediately after the treble and bass clefs before the first line of music.

There is a specific order of sharps and flats when writing key signatures. For sharp key signatures, the order is F#, C#, G#, D#, A#, E# and B#. You could remember this with a pneumonic such as Father Christmas Gives Dad An Electric Blanket. The order of the flat key signatures is Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Cb and Fb.
