Relationships

Keys are like people, they have their own set of quirks and traits and they have their own relationships too. The relationships dictate how they sound together or next to one another. Here are some basics.

Parallel Relationships
Ex. D Major(# #)  and d minor(b)
Kind of like parallel lines, they are the same but have nothing in common. 
Relative Relationships
Ex. G Major(#) and e minor(#)
These keys look different, but correspond to each other nonetheless.
*One trick to find the relative minor is to find the sixth note of your major scale, and that'll be your minor key.
Enharmonic Relationships
B Major(# # # # #) and Cb Major(b b b b b b b)
Like enharmonic notes, these keys sound the same but look different. Needless to say this relationship is less common.
