E Major
YOU learn about accidentals in level 2 in piano. Accidentals in piano are when there are flats or sharps next to a note that was not given in the key signature.
A major has 3 sharps, A minor has no sharps or flats.
A♯ minor has the maximum seven sharps, but A♯ major has 10 'sharps', 4 sharps and three *double* sharps, so B-flat major will be preferable with only two flats.

There are different rules. For major keys, the rule is this (by the way, # means sharp): C major scale- 0 sharps or flats G major scale- 1 sharp - F sharp D major scale- 2 sharps - F and C sharp A major scale- 3 sharps - F, C, G sharp E major scale- 4 sharps - F, C, G, D sharp B major scale- 5 sharps - F, C, G, D, A sharp F# major scale- 6 sharps - F, C, G, D, A, E sharp C# major scale - 7 sharps - F, C, G, D, A, E, B sharp. For major keys with flats: F major scale - 1 flat - B flat B flat major scale - 2 flats - B, E flat E flat major scale - 3 flats - B, E, A flat A flat major scale - 4 flats - B, E, A, D flat D flat major scale - 5 flats - B, E, A, D, G flat G flat major scale - 6 flats - B, E, A, D, G, C flat C flat major scale - 7 flats - B, E, A, D, G, C, F flat So as you might have noticed, in increasing order of sharps it is: F, C, G, D, A, E, B. And the increasing order of flats is B, E, A, D, G, C, F. If you notice the order of sharps is the opposite of the order of flats.
A major has 3 sharps, A minor has no sharps or flats.
E sharp has 3 sharps and 4 double sharps, the sharps are E sharp, A sharp, and B sharp.
in grade 4 you have to learn the b flat major scale and also in higher grades.(p.s. im a preparing for my grade 4 piano)
A♯ minor has the maximum seven sharps, but A♯ major has 10 'sharps', 4 sharps and three *double* sharps, so B-flat major will be preferable with only two flats.
Regardless of the instrument, the scale is always the same.Remember this: In the Simpsons, Homers Barbersharp Quartet was called the BE sharps. This is an excellent way to remember because B and E are the only notes without sharpsBy the same token, this means that the note above B i.e "C" does not have a flat and the note above E i.e "F" does not have a flat
A key in piano is the black a or white object that can be pressed down to create sound. A key can also mean a certain number of notes that can be played together, creating a scale, cadence and arpeggios. When you talk about the key of a particular piece, if the piece has no sharps or flats, it in in the key of C Major or A Minor. (There are other modes, but I won't get into them.) If the key has flats, the Major key is a Minor fourth (6 half steps) down from the last flat, and the minor key is a minor third, 4 half steps below that. If the key has sharps, the Major key is one half step up from the last sharp, and the Minor key is a minor third 4 half steps below that.
