How many sharps (#) are there in the key of E Major/b minor? The scale pattern for a major scale is WS-WS-HS-WS-WS-WS-HS. (WS= whole step ...two keys up on the piano; HS - half step..one key up on the piano) When you start a major scale on E, in order to arrive at the aforementioned pattern you must have those four sharps (F, C, G, D). Minor keys and scales are different. The easiest way to learn the sharps and flats for minor keys is to relate them to their relative major. A relative major is always a m3 (4 half steps) above its relative minor. So, a minor third above B is D. The D major scale has two sharps (F and C). So the B minor scale has the same two sharps (F and C). Of course there are different minor scale forms. which require accidentals which are not in the key signature.
