minor scale how many flats and sharps
How many sharps/flats in a given scale? Well, if you go up a major 6th, it's an A. So that means that in a minor scale if there are no flats or sharps, it's an A. Same thing if you go down a minor third. A minor third below C is A, so no flats and sharps for a minor key means A minor. Ok, let's take another one. Let's say you have 5 flats.
