The Major Scale

101 Worship Piano & Keys, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar

Description

Everything in Western music builds on the major scale. It’s not just a set of notes—it’s a framework for understanding keys, chords, and how melodies move. Learning the major scale in any key unlocks the map for navigating harmony in a live or studio environment.

Building the Scale

  • Start with C: Using only the white keys helps visualize the formula.

  • Universal Formula: Whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, whole step, half step.

  • Apply to Any Key: Once you know the formula, you can build the major scale from any tonic—whether it’s D, G, or F#.
