In key signatures with sharps, the key is one half step up from the last sharp.
To determine the key in key signatures with sharps, you can follow a simple rule. The key is found one half step up from the last sharp.
Here's how you can apply this rule step-by-step:
1. Determine the last sharp in the key signature. The sharps are always listed in a specific order: F# - C# - G# - D# - A# - E# - B#. The last sharp will be the one furthest to the right.
2. Move one half step up from the last sharp. This means you need to go one note higher in the musical alphabet.
For example, let's say the last sharp in the key signature is D#. Moving one half step up would take you to the note E. Therefore, the key in this case would be E major.
Remember, this rule applies specifically to key signatures with sharps. If you encounter a key signature with flats, the process is slightly different.
