minor keys: C, C^, C#v, C#, D, D^, D#v, Ev, E, F, F^, F#v, F#, G, G^, G#v, G#, A, A^, A#v, Bv, B
minor keys: C, C^, C#v, C#, D, D^, D#v, Ev, E, F, F^, F#v, F#, G, G^, G#v, G#, A, A^, A#v, Bv, B


Major keys are almost entirely natural, down, flat or upflat. The one exception is F^ major, needed because Gb major would use Cb. Likewise, minor keys are mostly natural, up, sharp or downsharp. Exceptions: Ev minor for D# minor, and Bv minor for A# minor, to avoid E#.

&lt;span style="line-height: 1.5;"&gt;The key of Gb^ breaks the rule for naming black keys because it has a Cb^.&lt;/span&gt;The key of D# minor also breaks the rule, having an E#.&lt;span style="line-height: 1.5;"&gt; There is unfortunately no way to notate these keys and follow the rule! A^ minor could also be notated as Bb minor, but probably wouldn't in order to follow the general rule that flat keys aren't minor keys.&lt;/span&gt;
