List of Musical Scales - My Music Theory
网页List of Musical Scales. Here is a complete list of the major, minor harmonic and minor melodic scales, in treble and bass clefs. If you need the natural minor scale – use the descending part of the melodic minor scale – it is the same! If you need to work out how scales are constructed with patterns of tones (whole notes) and semitones ...
Major Scales and Scale Degrees - My Music Theory
网页All major scales are built from same pattern of tones and semitones. Tones and Semitones in the Major Scale. Let’s look at the C major scale again, and see what the pattern of tones and semitones is. The distance between each pair of notes is written below the stave: T for tones (whole steps) and S for semitones (half steps):
Major Scales with 6 Sharps/Flats - My Music Theory
网页F# Major. In the F# major scale there are six sharps, F#, C#, G#, D#, A# and E#. The leading note, E#, is an enharmonic equivalent of F natural, but only E# can be used when writing the scale of F# major. This is so that the player can more easily identify the purpose of the note, as the leading note (which generally moves to the tonic next).
Scales in Any Clef (ABRSM Grade 5) - My Music Theory
网页There are no major scales which use both flats and sharps. All scales (major and minor) contain the following intervals above the tonic (keynote): Tonic-supertonic = major 2 nd; Tonic-subdominant = perfect 4 th; Tonic-dominant = perfect 5 th; All minor scales have a minor 3 rd above the tonic. All major scales have a major 3 rd above the tonic.
The Musical Modes - My Music Theory
网页In all major/minor keys, the note before the tonic is a semitone lower. By contrast, in all modal scales (except the Ionian and Lydian), the step up to the tonic is a tone lower. Thus, it is important to make sure your melody moves from the 7 th of the scale up by step to the tonic, ideally a number of times.
Major Scales: E and A Flat - My Music Theory
网页The other new major scale we’re going to learn is Ab major. Ab has four flats – Bb, Eb, Ab, and Db. An easy way to remember the order of flats is to count down five notes from the first one. The first flat is Bb: B, A, G, F, E. E, D, C, B, A. A, G, F, E, D. The circle of 5ths works in both directions – if you count upwards, you get the ...
Chromatic Scales - My Music Theory
网页ABRSM4, Chromatic, Scales and Keys, Trinity4. The word “chromatic” actually means “colourful” – the scales are very colourful since they use ALL 12 different notes available in one octave, instead of just 7 of them! The scales you have studied up till now – major and minor – are in a group called “diatonic” scales.
Interval Qualities - My Music Theory
网页In a major key, all the intervals are either major or perfect. There are NO minor intervals in a major key (when the lowest note is the tonic). Here is the scale of C major, showing each interval type when the lowest note is the tonic: In all major scales, the unison, fourth, fifth and octave are PERFECT intervals. All the other intervals are ...

Key Signatures - My Music Theory
网页Each key signature represents one major key, and one minor key. These two keys are called “relative” keys – they share a key signature because they share almost all of the same notes in the scale. In sharp major keys, the sharp written furthest right in the key signature is the leading note, and the keynote or tonic is one semitone higher ...
