![]() ![]() We'll start with the D scale: D E F # G A B C # D Use the above Major Scales to add the proper number of Sharps. The flat b Major Scales add flats in this order: ( b) B E A D G C Fīoth flats and sharps must remain in this order, to help us quickly name a song's Key (time to concentrate): Sharps Each musician must have a reference point for their own instruments' range.įurther, remembering the Major Scales that added sharps or flats, the sharp # Major Scales add sharps in this order: ( #) F C G D A E B Musicians play together with different instruments, so everyone must play in the same Key, as the instruments vary widely in sound range. Additionally, below is a faster way to form a Major scale. Land on the sharp, flat, or natural notes to name themĮach Major scale sounds alike because of this step pattern.Follow the step pattern, WWHWWWH between the notes. ![]() To make a Major scale with only the Step Pattern: To find the number of sharps or flats in a scale, use: Remember Major scales follow a step pattern (whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half). This is the order of Flats we'll use later to make scales. E b Major Scale has 3 b's (B b, E b, A b)Ĭontinue until 7 b's are added: B b E b A b D b G b C b F b.Here, doing the same thing as sharp scales, we add 1 more Flat per scale (remember a scale's first and last notes are the same root note, just 8 steps apart, like F to F). Let's compare this flat scale to others, starting on different first notes (roots): Starting on 'F', here is the F Major Scale: F G A B b C D E F (This is not the F# scale from before.) This is a pattern, or order, of sharps we'll use later to make scales.Ĭonversely, we may compare Flats and their scales, successively adding flats. Then, A Major has 3sharps (F #, C #, G #)Īnd so it goes until we add 7 sharps: F # C # G # D # A # E # B #.As we proceed through each scale, we sharp an extra note. (Remember that B to C, and E to F, have no step between them - Bake Cakes, Eat Food).ĭon't be afraid of all those sharps (they won't puncture you). Here, from F # to G is a half step, because it has to fit within our Major Scale step pattern (the steps between notes): 2whole, 1half, 3whole, 1half WWHLet's compare Major Scales and their sharps: Next, the G Major Scale: G A B C D E F # G So the C Major Scale starts on the letter or note of C: C D E F G A B C Scales are named according to their starting letter. ![]()
