We do not have to like for instance in D… we play both F sharp and C sharp in order to make a C major scale. But let us go back to the C first, C has no sharps or flats. So how do we find out what minor key has no sharps or flats, well here is a trick… you are in C right here, all you have to do is go one half step, two half steps, three half steps down, and we know that the one that conjoins with C, C major also equals A minor, so D…two sharps, what minor key would have two sharps in D major key, well let’s see, there is one, two, three, D major equals B minor and so on.
