MY SUMMARY OF THE MAJOR SCALE Sherril Powell-Spencer When we think of a scale in music, we think of a series on musical notes that go in an ascending and descending manner. The major scales are the foundation from which all other scales are farmed. These scales are called the musical alphabet; they are: C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C A major scale begins with the letter C (lower), and also ends with the letter C (upper). Similarly, if the major scale begins with a F it also ends with a F. The major scales have numbers that represents each letter, these numbers are called degrees. The first scale is lower C, the second is D, the third is E and so on. The first and eight tones have the same name. There are eight tones in every Major scales. The eight tones are called an octave. There are half steps (semitones) and whole steps (tones) in every major scale. The pitch of a note is how high or low it sounds. This is where the sharp, the flat ant natural come in. the sharp raises the pitch by a semitone, the flat raises the pitch by a semitone while the natural returns note to its original pitch. An accident gives direction about the sharp or flat. it tells how they are to be used in a particular musical composition. These are called “key signature” and are always placed immediately in front of the note they effect.
