Similarly the order of flats is based on the same natural notes in reverse order: B ♭, E ♭, A ♭, D ♭, G ♭, C ♭, F ♭ Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles's Father or Blanket Exploded And Dad Got Cold Feet, encountered in the following series of major keys: C→F→B ♭→ E ♭→ A ♭→ D ♭→ G ♭→ C ♭. (These are sometimes learned using an acrostic phrase as a mnemonic, for example:įather Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle orįather Christmas Gave Dad An Electric Blanket orįather Christmas Goes Down All Escalators Backwards or Fried Chicken Goes Down All Easy Baby.) The order of sharps in key signature notation is F ♯, C ♯, G ♯, D ♯, A ♯, E ♯, B ♯, each extra sharp being added successively in the following sequence of major keys: C→G→D→A→E→B→F ♯→ C ♯. Each new scale begins a fifth above (or a fourth below) the previous scale. For example, in the case of a minor (F♯ C♯ G♯ D♯) composed of four sharps, the third sharp from the last is C♯, which represents C♯ minor. If there are three or more sharps, the tonic note of the minor key is the note of the third to last symbol of the key signature. In all scales of the key signature for sharps, the tonic note of the major scale is a minor second above the last symbol, and the tonic note of the minor scale is a major second below the last symbol. The key signature is basically applied as follows: F♯ C♯ G♯ D♯ A♯ E♯ B♯ The major scale with one sharp is G major. If sharps is used as a key signature, the effect continues to be applied regardless of measure and octave, unless the key changes midway or is affected by another accidental effect such as natural. When used as a key signature, the key is indicated by writing one or more letters to the right of the clef. ![]() The order of combining sharps is basically "F C G D A E B" from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 7. ![]()
