Piano Scales formation & Key Pad
Scale is a set of Notes in a particular order.
Types of Scales:
- Major Scales
- Minor Scales
- Pentatonic Scales
- Harmonic Scales
- Diminished Scales etc.
Major Scale formation:
Major Scale = R w w h w w w h
R = Root Note = the main note of the scale
w = whole step = 2 notes distance ,
h = half step = immediate next note
For example,
R w w h w w w h
C Major scale = C D E F G A B C
w = D = is 2 notes away from C i.e. C C# and then D
similarly, h = F = next note from E so half step.
Minor Scale formation:
Minor Scale = R w h w w h w w
R = Root Note = the main note of the scale
w = whole step = 2 notes distance ,
h = half step = immediate next note
For example,
R w h w w h w w
C Minor scale = C D D# F G G# A# C
In the same way using respective formulas one can find the notes in the other scales. In the next chapter we will see the Major Minor scale notes.
