Hi,
I have a question about naming conventions for Major and minor key signatures. I have been trying to relearn ideas that I last studied 40 years ago, and I wonder if I understand this correctly.
As part of a study aid, I wanted to make a list of basic Major and Minor song keys, and I did not want to use labeling that is unconventional.
Here is the list:
Major keys
C
Db / C#
D
Eb
E
F
Gb / F#
G
Ab
A
Bb
B / Cb
minor key relatives
A
Bb / A#
B
C
C#
D
Eb / D#
E
F
F#
Ab
G# / B
My question: Is this a comprehensive list of the Major and minor keys within the context of standardized naming conventions?
I don't think I am asking the question effectively, but as an example, would a trained musician ever properly describe a song key as G# Maj rather than Ab Maj?
I realize I have been casual with the use of sharp and flat designations and I would like to evolve to conform to the rules of theory.
Am I on the right track?
Thank you!
