Its relative minor is A minor, and its parallel minor is C minor. All The White Keys on a PianoĬ major (often just C or key of C) is a musical major scale based on C, with pitches C, D, E, F, G, A, B and C. When you get to that point and can play in time, you will be a guitar player and can begin developing your own style.
#MUSIC KEYS MEANING HOW TO#
I will be getting to this in a few pages and will show you how to learn and play many scales and chords in every key possible. Remember I told you that the guitar repeats itself over the fretboard? You can utilize that to transfer scales and keys all over the fretboard making the guitar very easy to learn in comparison to an instrument like the french horn. Once you know one key, you know them all. When you learn the C scale and the workings of the key of C, you can then transfer it to any other key or scale meaning that you actually only have to learn one scale and key on guitar. This makes this key a bit easier to learn than one that includes any sharps or flats. The reason is because on the piano, the C-Scale includes every white key with no sharps or flats (black keys). This book is based around the C-Scale and the key of C Major. Most modern popular songs have one key throughout the entire song however more technical music such as classical may have many different key changes within one song. Musical keys are a music theory used to understand which chords, notes and scales can be playing during a section of music. It is designed to help you get focused and learn the overall structure of these music elements quickly and effectively.This lesson on the How To Guitar website is on musical keys. Our Key and Scale lesson is a comprehensive lesson on learning key signatures in music and the associated music scales. There are easy methods to learn all the keys and you can use the workshop lessons to accomplish just that. The patterns remain the same, but the note names and thus the key names change. So really all you need to learn is how to form a major or minor key and then consider on what note it starts. Using simple music math you will be able to find patterns and simple systems to learn them. Major and Minor keys have relationships that make them easier to manage. We have patterns and groupings to help get through the key issues (pun intended). It seems that this is nearly completely out of control having to deal with so many keys.Īt first it seems that way, but here is the thing, it can easily be broken down into manageable categories.
Minor key signatures which are related to the flat major keys, in order: d minor, g minor, c minor, f minor, b flat minor, e flat minor, a flat minor How to Manage Keys Minor key signatures which are related to the sharp major keys, in order: e minor, b minor, f# minor, c# minor, g# minor, d# minor, a# minor
The C is the minor third and G# is the major 7 th and is sharp. (yes it’s a little more complicated than that, but it works) For the harmonic minor the effect of the scale is to flat the third and the seventh will be a sharp key. The minor key is related to the major key at a minor third interval down. And what if I told you there were 3 types of minor scales that would apply to the minor keys.ĭoes your head hurt yet? Here’s your list of Minor Key Signatures Now, learning the 15 major key signatures seems like it might be a big task to accomplish! It will take some doing, but it isn't as hard as you might think.īut wait there's more! There is also a minor key for every major key, thus doubling the number of keys to 30. This is true for the key signatures as well. On the piano if we look at F# it can be called Gb as well, therefore they are the same note, but have a different name. What, same notes different names? Double Label Key Signatures Key signatures with flats: F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Cb (progressively each adds a flat up to 7)ģ sharp keys and 3 flat keys have different names but have the same notes called by a different name. Key signatures with sharps: G, D, A, E, B, F#, C# (progressively each adds a sharp up to 7) Seven keys that have flat names (with up to 7 flat notes) Here’s your list of Major Key Signatures.Seven keys have sharp names (with up to 7 sharp notes).There are fifteen (15) name labels for basic major key signatures. However, since you have the ability to have keys with double names this opinion falls apart quickly. So it would make sense to believe there are only 12 key signatures (also known as keys). Often, new music students will say there are 12 keys of music, but what they are referring to is the twelve keys they can identify on a keyboard or piano.
