Answer: Hope this helps!
Answer:
F G A Bb C D E
There are 7 different notes in the scale. When the scale is played, the first note is usually repeated at the end, one octave higher. In this case, that’s the note F. This kind of “rounds off” the scale, and makes it sound complete.
Therefore, the final F will sometimes be included in examples and diagrams, depending on the situation.
Scale Position
Each note has its own specific position within the scale. For example, A is the 3rd note, or degree, of the scale. C is the 5th degree, and so on.
Sharps And Flats
The F major scale contains 1 flat: the note Bb.
The scale of a piece of music is usually indicated by a key signature, a symbol that flattens or sharpens specific lines or spaces on the staff. Instead of putting a flat symbol next to every single B note, it’s much easier to just place a key signature at the beginning of the music, which automatically flats every B, so that the music conforms to the F scale.
F Major Scale On the Piano
It’s an excellent skill to be able to quickly and easily visualize scales on the piano. The key to doing this is focusing on which white keys and which black keys are part of the scale. Also, we have to keep in mind the two zones that make up each octave register on the keyboard.
white keys: all EXCEPT the note B (last white key in Zone 2)
black keys: Bb, the last black key in Zone 2.
Notice the unique major scale pattern: Whole, whole, half; whole, whole, whole, half.
All scales are infinite – they go on forever in both directions. The diagrams above show the scale over one octave, but keep in mind that this same pattern repeats itself across the keyboard.
Put It In Writing
Now we will take a look at the F major scale in music notation. Here it is in all 4 commonly used clefs – treble, bass, alto and tenor:
The rest of the notation examples will be shown in treble clef, but all the examples are provided for reference in the others 3 clefs as well at the end of this lesson.
Solfege Syllables
Solfege is a musical system that assigns specific syllables to each scale degree, allowing us to sing the notes of the scale and learn the unique, individual sound of each one. It’s a great way to train your ears to know what you’re hearing.
Tetrachords
All major scales can be split in half, into two major tetrachords (a 4-note segment with the pattern 2-2-1, or whole-step, whole-step, half-step). It’s much easier to remember 4-note patterns than 7 or 8-note patterns, so breaking it down into two parts can be very helpful.
The lower tetrachord of F major is made up of the notes F, G, A, and Bb.
The upper tetrachord is made up of the notes C, D, E, and F.
These two 4-note segments are joined by a whole-step in the middle.
Traditional Scale Degree Names
In traditional harmony, special names are given to each scale degree. A lot of harmony textbooks use these names, so they’re useful to know.
