I will start off with the piano, it is a C instrument. With you playing a soprano (which in most cases is a B-flat, but you will find a C but this is rare.) On the piano, B-flat is 3 half-steps below C. So what this means is that whatever key the piano is in, you, on your soprano will always be playing in the key that is 3 half-steps below the piano. The alto is an E-flat instrument (3 half-steps above the piano) so whatever key the piano is in, the alto is 3 half-steps above it. For example, say the piano is playing a song in the key of G. The alto would be in the key of A# or Bb (3 half-steps above the piano).
