  1. Major Scale Construction The Major Scale Formulae Constructing The C Major Scale

  2. constructing a major scale

  3. constructing a major scaleThe major scale is made up of a sequence of whole step and half step intervals

  4. major scale formulae root to 2nd =whole step 2nd to 3rd =whole step 3rdto 4th =half step 4th to 5th =whole step 5th to 6th =whole step 6th to 7th =whole step 7th to root =half step

  5. major scale formulae whole step whole step half step whole step whole step whole step half step

  6. constructing the C major scale

  7. The root note of C C

  8. rise a whole step to the 2nd note C

  9. the 2nd = D C D

  10. rise a whole step to the 3rd note C D

  11. the 3rd = E C D E

  12. rise a half step to the 4th note C D E

  13. the 4th = F C D E F

  14. rise a whole step to the 5th note C D E F G

  15. the 5th = G C D E F G

  16. rise a whole step to the 6th note C D E F G

  17. the 6th note = A C D E F G A

  18. rise a whole step to the 7th note C D E F G A

  19. The 7th note = B C D E F G A B

  20. rise a half step to the root C D E F G A B

  21. we are back to C again C D E F G A B C

  22. checklist for scale construction • Letter names (A to G) appear in alphabetic sequence • Each letter name appears only once (apart from the root note which is found on the first and last note of each scale) • Keys contain either #’s or b’s (never both)

  23. Constructing Other Major Scales C D E F G A B C If we can use the formulae above to create a major scale starting from a note of C then we can use it to construct more major scales starting from other notes?

  24. The G Major Scale G

  25. The G Major Scale G A B C D E F# G

  26. The F Major Scale F

  27. The F Major Scale F G A Bb C D E F

  28. The D Major Scale D

  29. The D Major Scale D E F# G A B C# D

  30. The Bb Major Scale Bb

  31. The Bb Major Scale Bb C D Eb F G A Bb

  32. constructing the C major scale

  33. constructing a major scale
