A key is a reference to music written in one of twenty-four diatonic scales. There are twelve major scales and twelve minor scales. The key signature indicates which of these major or minor scales the music is written. The final cadence determines whether the key is major or minor. Key signatures are marked over again at the begining of each new staff system.
A key signature may have up to seven sharp symbols, seven flat symbols or nothing at all.
