Directions: 1. From C Major, list down all MAJOR KEYS until F#Major (6 sharps). Count 5 letternames/steps UP from C, same goes for the Minor until you reach D#Minor (6 sharps). 2. After the Sharps,list down all the MAJOR KEYS until you reach Gb Major (6flats). Count letternames/steps DOWN from C, same goes for the Minor until you reach Eb Minor (6 flats). 3. When ask to write KEY SIGNATURES, remember that Major and Minor Keys MUST have the same amount of sharps or flats. Only difference is that Minor Keys tend to have ACCIDENTALS on the 6th and 7th (when asked to do Melodic Minor), or on the 7th (when asked to do Harmonic Minor). Accidentals will be Sharps/Double Sharps for Keys having Sharps. Accidentals will be Naturals/Sharps for Keys having Flats. 4. If asked to do WITHOUT KEY SIGNATURES, put the sharps/flats indicated on Column 2, then add those in Column 4 and 5.
