Firstly, a key is the scale a piece of music is based on: it only uses notes from that scale, unless stated otherwise by accidentals (the little sharps and flats next to the notes themselves). So a key change is basically when you change from using notes from one scale (eg. G major) to notes from a different one (eg. B flat major). So basically, a key change is to CHANGE into a different KEY _________________ Another way of saying this is that a key change involves a change in the tonic, or fundamental tone. You can play through the tune "London Bridge is Falling Down" in your head. At any point, you can stop and 'hear' that the line is leading you to the tone on the syllable dy in lady. That tone would be on the note that names the major scale you are 'performing' the tune in. When there is a harmonic shift in a song or piece, you can usually detect it as a modulation in the music, and the fundamental, or tonic, is now different from originally. I don't mean that a key change happens with every change in chord-- that would make no sense. It has to do with the note, or tone, that a line is naturally drawn to as the music progresses. Usually, but not always, when music changes key, it will change back to the original key before the end. If you want to explore a little more, play "London Bridge" on the piano or other instrument, in the key of C Major. The first note will be G. After you get to the note C at the end of the line, play the chord A flat 7. Notice that the chords C Major and A flat 7 share the note C, so they go together well. But clearly the other notes in the A flat 7 chord are not in the C Major scale. This will give you a very natural connection to D flat major, a half-step above C. There is something rich and interesting about this chord change, isn't there? [C Major, A flat 7, D flat Major] Now you can play the tune again, in D flat. You have changed key!
I'm not totally sure, but I think that it's just a key change!
Going from one key to another during the same song is called " modulation",
or "modulating".
it is probably the chorus of the song. since it is the part of the song after the intro and before the bridge.
