The 15 Major Scales (continued)

Scale Notes

F Major

F-sharp Major

G-flat Major

G Major

A-flat Major

A Major

B-flat Major

B Major

C-flat Major

Note that several of these scales are enharmonic. (Remember that word from

Chapter 1? It means two notes that are identical, but spelled differently.) So

C-sharp Major and D-flat Major are just different ways of describing the same

notes, as are F-sharp Major and G-flat Major, and B Major and C-flat Major.
