In this sequel post, we&#8217;re taking our studies a step further by exploring closely related keys.<\/p>\n<p>Whether two given keys or more are closely related or not, depends on their respective key signatures. Consequently, we&#8217;re getting started with an overview of the term <em>key signature<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Signature<\/h2>\n<p>A part from the keys of C major and A minor, every other key has a certain number of sharps and flats that distinguishes it from other keys. The key signature of a given key is the number of sharps or flats in that key.<\/p>\n<p>The scale of a key is one reliable tool that let&#8217;s you know the number of sharps or flats in that key. Using the scale of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=CC9966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;we can see that the key of C is all white &#8211; neither sharps nor flats.

Nevertheless, use what we&#8217;ve covered so far as a reference, because like I clearly stated in the introduction, the relationship between closely related keys has a lot to do with key signature.<\/p>\n<h2><em>&#8220;What Are Closely Related Keys?&#8221;<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>Closely related keys are keys that differ in key signature from a given key, either by one sharp or one flat. In this segment, I&#8217;ll show\u00a0you two methods that you can use to determine keys that are closely related to a given key.<\/p>\n<h3>Method #1 &#8211; Use Of Cycle of Fourths\/Fifths Chart<\/h3>\n<p>Using the cycle of fifth\/fourths chart:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/circleoffiths1.png\" alt=\"circleoffiths1\" class=\"wp-image-9643 aligncenter\" height=\"320\" width=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;closely related keys can be determined.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s how it works&#8230;&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Closely related keys to a given key are in adjacent sectors to the left and right of the sector of the given key. For example, the key of C major, which is at the 12 o&#8217;clock sector, has F major (11 o&#8217;clock) and G major (1 o&#8217;clock) as its closely related keys.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these outer sector keys, the minor keys in the inner sectors are also closely related keys. We covered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/key-relationships-enharmonic-keys-parallel-keys-relative-keys\">relative keys<\/a> in a previous post. So, the keys of\u00a0 D minor, A minor, and E minor are also closely related keys.<\/p>\n<p>Put together, the key of C major has five closely related keys&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>F major<\/p>\n<p>G major<\/p>\n<p>A minor<\/p>\n<p>D minor<\/p>\n<p>E minor<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The same procedure can help you determine keys that are closely related to the key of D minor. The key of D minor is at the 11 o&#8217;clock sector and has G minor and A minor as its closely related keys.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these inner sector keys, the major keys in the outer sectors &#8211; the keys of\u00a0 Bb major, F major, and C minor are also closely related keys.<\/p>\n<p>Altogether, the key of D minor has five closely related keys&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>G minor<\/p>\n<p>A minor<\/p>\n<p>Bb major<\/p>\n<p>F major<\/p>\n<p>C major<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure you can figure out keys that are closely related to any given key, whether major or minor. Let&#8217;s see what the second method has for us.<\/p>\n<h3>Method #2 &#8211; Use Of Scale Degree Triads<\/h3>\n<p>The major scale has seven notes and each note can be seen as a degree of the scale. Using chord formation in thirds, we can form triads from every degree of the major scale.<\/p>\n<p>Here are scale degree triads formed from each degree of the C major scale&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On the first tone, is the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,&amp;color=CC9966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nOn the second tone, is the D minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,A,&amp;color=CC9966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nOn the third tone, is the E minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,B,&amp;color=CC9966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nOn the fourth tone, is the F major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,A,C&amp;color=CC9966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nOn the fifth tone, is the G major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,D&amp;color=CC9966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nOn the sixth tone, is the A minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,C,E&amp;color=CC9966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nOn the seventh tone, is the B diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,D,F&amp;color=CC9966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe quality of these scale degree triads can help you determine the keys that are closely related to a given key. The quality of the following scale-degree triads:<\/p>\n<p>C major<br \/>\nD minor<br \/>\nE minor<br \/>\nF major<br \/>\nG major<br \/>\nA minor<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;in the key of C major should give you an idea of keys that are closely related to this key\u00a0(which share exactly the same quality with the scale degree triads.)<\/p>\n<table height=\"417\" width=\"681\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Scale Degree Triads<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Closely Related Keys<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">\n<p align=\"center\">C major<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">\n<p align=\"center\">C major<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">\n<p align=\"center\">D minor<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">\n<p align=\"center\">D minor<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">\n<p align=\"center\">E minor<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">\n<p align=\"center\">E minor<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">\n<p align=\"center\">F major<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">\n<p align=\"center\">F major<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">\n<p align=\"center\">G major<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">\n<p align=\"center\">G major<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">\n<p align=\"center\">A minor<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">\n<p align=\"center\">A minor<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Attention:<\/strong> Leaving out the B diminished triad of the seventh degree is intentional, and this is due to the fact that there are no diminished keys in music. There can only be major and minor keys. Now considering that there is no key called the <em>key of B diminished<\/em>, we&#8217;re focusing on scale degree triads of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/major-triad-chord-cheat-sheet\">major <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/minor-triad-chord\">minor<\/a> qualities.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you believe it or not, while playing in a given key, relationship between closely related keys are inevitable. A vast majority of the people who do <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/transposition-mental-vs-electronic-transposing\">electronic transposition<\/a> to a given key on the keyboard, let&#8217;s say C major, do not know that in actuality they have a knowledge of closely related keys.<\/p>\n<p>While playing a song in the key of C major, you&#8217;ll most likely use triads and chords from closely related keys &#8211; D minor, E minor, G major, etc., and it&#8217;s rare to have a piece of music stay in chord 1 from beginning to end. Instead, chord progressions are made from one degree of the scale to another.<\/p>\n<p>Musicians, who are familiar with these closely related keys, interject some chord progressions.<\/p>\n<p>A 2-5-1 chord progression in the key of D minor progresses from the E half-diminished seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,,,D,G,Bb,&amp;color=CC9966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is chord 2, to the A altered chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,,,Cs,F,G,Bs&amp;color=CC9966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is chord 5, before resolving to the D minor ninth chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,,C,E,F,A,&amp;color=CC9966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is chord 1.<\/p>\n<p>The 2-5-1 chord progression to D minor described above can be used while in the key of C to progress to chord 2 &#8211; the D minor ninth chord, and this is possible because of the relationship between the keys of C major and D minor<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every key has a close relationship with other keys.
