The Major Scale
The Root of Music Theory can be seen by playing The Major Scale in the Key of C on the Piano (only the white keys from C to C) |
| C to D is one whole step or tone due to the black key in between them. |
| E to F is one half step or semitone there are no keys between them. |
| The Major Scale can be thought of as - whole step - whole step - half step - whole step - whole step - whole step - half step. |
| Another way to think of the notes is in numbers - the first note C=1 and the second note D=2 and the third note in the scale E=3 and so on. |
| Please have a look at Diatnic Harmony to see how the numbers way is the best in the end. |
