  1. Key signatures are the same across the board for all music.  The order of sharps is always

    F C G D A E B (Fat Cats Go Down Alleys Eating Birds)

    The order of flats is always

    B E A D G C F (BEAD, Greatest Common Factor)

    The sentences in parentheses are ways to remember.  But if there are two sharps, they will always be F and C and in that order.  You can also tell by looking at the music.  Each sharp or flat is on the line or space of the note it affects.

    Did you want this, or how many sharps or flats in each key?


  2. for trombone? well i play a stringed instrument and

    i'm pretty sure all music key signatures are the same, any sharp,flat, or natural symbols?

  3. well i cant draw you a picture of the circle of 5ths/4ths..so try to keep up.

    sharps; f-c-g-d-a-e-b

    to find the major key in sharps-find the last sharp & go up 1/2 step to know the key.

    example;---say you have 2 sharps f&c, go up 1/2 step after the last sharp (c#) to get your key"D"

    flats; b-e-a-d-g-c-f

    finding major keys in flats---go back one flat from the last one in the key signature to get your major key
