How to Identify the Key

To identity a flat (♭) key based on the Key Signature , you can look at the second flat from the last flat – that is the key. This works on the flat key signatures of Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, and Cb. The Key of F has only one flat, Bb and that you just have to memorize without this little trick. Cb has ALL flats.
