Working out the Key

How to work out the key of a song

none = C

#  = G,   ## = D   ### = A,  #### = E, ##### = B.

This can best be memorized by the saying--- Cant Guys Do Almost Everything Better ( not very woke I know!)

The b (flat) symbol is used to denote the Flatted Keys, i.e. F Bb Eb Ab Db

b = F, bb = Bb, bbb = Eb, bbbb = Ab, bbbbb = Db.    Again they are placed on the flatted note on the Clef.

Example:  key of Bb   =  Bb C D Eb F G A This can be remembered as  FBEAD
