What are musical keys?

A key is a set of seven notes with a certain number of sharps or flats. To be more accurate, a key is really just a set of pitches with an established tonal center. There are two modes, major and minor.\n\nIt's very easy to remember the appropriate sharps and flats for a given key. \n\nStart with C Major: no sharps or flats (CDEFGAB, with C as the tonal center)\n\nNow, drop five notes below C, which is F. The key of F Major has one flat (F G A Bb C D E).\n\nDrop five notes below F, which is the key of B-flat Major. B-flat Major has two flats (Bb C D Eb F G A).\n\nAn easier way to remember the major keys is by memorizing the set of steps and half-steps between each note, which is the same for every major key. With major keys, it is (whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half). A whole step is two half steps.\n\nSo, let's say you wanted to know the key of E-flat. The first relationship is a whole step. A whole step from Eb is F. Next is a whole step. A whole step from F is G. Next is a half-step. A half-step from G is Ab. If you follow this set, you discover the key of E-flat Major is (Eb F G Ab Bb C D Eb).\n\n**\n\nNow, for the minor mode. The set of steps and half-steps between each note for the minor mode (whole, half, whole, whole, half, whole, whole). If you look at the set for the major mode, you will see this is really the same set, but the last two have been placed at the beginning.\n\nI hope this helps.

Here you go (a real one)\nYou have a staff (a partiture) written for orchestra.\nYou have to make a piano arrangement.\nEach note can be played by left hand, right hand or discarded.\nYou rely on a musician to train the system. Afterwards, it's supposed to work on its own.\n\nPlease write if you tackle it.

Very Carefully...\nIn short it depends on what key you're going for.\nI found these at a tuning website\n8 String Fourths   F# B E A D G C F     \n8 String Standard   F# B E A D G B E     \n8 String Hunter   E A D A D G B E   \n\nIn addition to this, this page\nhttp://www.well.com/user/wellvis/tuning.html#8string\nhas a nice selection of 8 string tunings, hope it helps.

it's called modulating into the relative major or minor of the tonic. you can also modulate into the relative major or minor of the dominant, sub-dominant etc. But I assume you refer to the tonic key from the key signature. So modulate or modulation is the word!

If you're looking for a way to quickly play the piano you're going to love this. Listen... most of you already know that the quickest way to play the piano is by learning chords.\n\nBut what most of you don't know is what kind of chord to start out with. There are triads, seventh chords, diminished chords and thousands more. There are closed position chords and then there is something called the open position chord, and with it, you'll be able to create your own music in less than an hour!\n\nLook.. the reason why so many people have problems with the piano is they give up out of sheer boredom! They sense that it will take months if not years to create something that sounds like music on it. So they give up.\n\nBy starting out with open position chords, you'll immediately sound like a pro! Why? It all has to do with the way the chord is structured. First, it's a modern sounding seventh chord. All this means is the seventh note of the scale is used to along with regular triad notes to give it a more contemporary sound. Jazz musicians use it all the time.\n\nSecond, it covers more than 2 octaves of the keyboard giving you a very nice "open" sound. If you love contemporary stylings, you'll be playing them in no time with it.\n\nAnd last but not least, you use both hands right away to create with! In fact, the chord is so wide open that you can literally create music without moving your hands around at all.\n\nIf you love the idea of playing piano but don't want to start with boring triads or note reading, you're going to love learning to play the open position chord!

Because it is full of chromatic notes.\n\nChromatic notes are notes outside a key or mode. \n\nFor example, in the key of C major, notes that are diatonic (as opposed to chromatic) are C D E F G A & B. Chromatic notes would be C# D# F# G# & A#.\n\nIf you play the diatonic notes and chromatic notes in a scale, you would get a chromatic scale.\n\nIn music, chromatic doesn't refer to color. \n\nIf you are talking about tone color, tone color is the sound a particular instrument (a piano has a different sound from a sax).\n\nIn the chromatic scale, we are dealing with pitches, not the instrument's sound.

Don't know about the reference...\n\nWhat I do know: music theory, and the theory of musical scales (particularly the mathematical description of scales) is a formal description of what sounds right (and wrong) to the human ear...

I always thought a piano is a stringed percusion instrument and a keyboard is an electronic representation of a piano which can play different sound???!? I may be wrong though?

Please rephrase your question, I am not sure what you are asking. In music theory the beginning of a piece of music is called tonic.\n\nJust in case you didn't know you can add more to your question by clicking on the pencil icon and clicking the add details. I was going through your other questions and it seemed like this might help you get more answers.

Keyboard or piano music usually is notated separately for both hands, one line with the violin key and the other line with the bass key.\n\nGuitar notes use the violin key lowered by an octave.\n\n\nApart from music notes, guitar music sometimes is written down as tabs, indicating the bound for each string.

It sounds like some global keystrokes are enabled check for any software that might be lauching this for you.  First check musicmatch for this setting then maybe an extension in firefox.  Then check for other software that may allow for keystrokes to launch applications.

D#. Or E flat. Same scale, same key. Or you can tune down a half step and just play it in the key of D and it will sound the same as if you were actually playing it in D#. The chords are D#-G#-A#, OR Eflat-Aflat-Bflat. If you tune down 1/2 step then play D-G-A.
