 Good
job. You already have 2 major scales learned.
Let's practice a few more. Remember the
formula for a major scale is:
whole-whole-half-whole-whole-whole-half
Start
on E and build yourself a major scale.
Start
on F and build yourself a major scale.
Start
on G and build yourself a major scale.
Start
on A and build yourself a major scale.
Start
on B and build yourself a major scale.
The
first note that you play to start a major
scale is called the "Root note."
It is called the Root note because it is
the beginning note (the start note or a
place to start from). So far you have played
the root notes C, D, E, F, G, A, and B.
Now
let's play some other root notes. Construct
the following major scales starting on the
notes:
- C
sharp / D flat.
- D
sharp / E flat.
- F
sharp / G flat.
- G
sharp / A flat.
- A
sharp / B flat.
When
you are done, go to the next page.
Oh,
I almost forgot. When a song is written using
the C scale, it is said to be in the "key
of" C. When a song is written using the
D scale, it is said to be in the "key
of" D. When a song is written using the
F sharp scale, it is said to be in the "key
of" F sharp. And so on, and so on , etc.
etc. . . . . . .
