What is the key to a
song?
A song is
regarded as being in the key of C major if the pitch C is its key center,
if the notes in the song chiefly fall in the C-major scale (as
opposed to the C-minor scale, or one of the other scale-modes based on C), and
the chord triad of C major serves the function of the tonic chord throughout
the chord .
How do you work out
the key signature?
To find the name of a key
signature with sharps, look at the sharp farthest to the right. The key

name of a minorkey, find the name of the key in major
and then count backwards three half steps
