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 ...

A mode is a 7-note scale built on a certain pattern of tones and semitones. The easiest way to work out the modes is to play a scale starting on each of the white notes in succession. Starting on C, we make the Ionian scale: This, of course, is identical to the scale of C major. The semitones are marked with a bracket.
To play a chromatic scale, simply start on the note of your choice, and then play ALL the semitones until you reach the starting note again. If we start on D, we play these notes: As you can see, the scale contains 12 different notes. We write 13 notes in total, but the first and last note (D) are the same note name.
You should already know the keys with 4 sharps/flats. In this lesson we will learn about the four keys that have five sharps or flats in the key signature. They are: B major (5 sharps) G# minor (5 sharps) Db major (5 flats) Bb minor (5 flats) The sharps, in order, are F#, C#, G#, D# and A#. Here are the key signatures in treble and bass clef:
In fact, all major scales follow the same pattern of tones and semitones, so try to remember it! T – T – S – T – T – T – S. G, D and F Major Scales. In ABRSM Grade One music theory, you need to know about four major scales: C, G, D and F major. In Trinity Grade One music theory, you need to know about three major scales: C, G and F ...
Key. When we write music which mostly uses notes from the scale of C major and sounds good finished with a C, we say that the music is “in the key of C major” or “in C a major”. Here’s a short tune in C major: For ABRSM Grade One Music Theory, you only need to know about these three key signatures: G major, D major and F major, and ...
Natural minor scales are built on this pattern: T – S – T – T – S – T – T. T=Tone (or “whole step”) S=Semitone (or “half step”) If you play a one octave scale on the piano, starting on A and using only the white notes, this is the “natural A minor scale”. The descending scales uses the same notes, but in reverse order:
Here are the ascending and descending C# major scales in treble and bass clefs. The key signature for C# major has seven sharps. It is very rare to find pieces of music written in C# major, but one example is this Prelude, from Bach’s Well-Tempered Klavier Book 1. C Flat Major. In the Cb major scale, every degree of the scale is a flat note.
How to Learn The Patterns. 1. Position on the Stave. With the sharp keys, the general “up-down” pattern is the same for treble, bass and alto clef. However, tenor clef is quite different and has to be learnt separately. With the flat keys, all the clefs follow the same basic “up-down” pattern. Try to memorise the patterns.
