Why do you think that this is called a scale of C major?

C major scale has no sharps or flats, and it starts on the C note (assuming, of course, that the scale is starting on the tonic). The scale of a minor also lacks sharps and flats, but can be differentiated from C major by the fact that it starts on an A note (assuming, once again, that the scale is starting on the tonic), and it has a raised 7th note.It should also be noted that a minor scale has three different forms: natural, melodic, and harmonic. The natural form does not have any raised or lowered notes - which makes it the same as C major in terms of notation. However, that being said, it should be safe to assume that a scale that lacks sharps and flats, and which starts on the C note is, in fact, C majorscale.


Is the scale the same as the key?

I can't answer that directly but the scale is the group of notes written out in order with any sharps or flats that is necessary to the scale. The key is the scale that a piece of music is based on. So, in some ways they are, but they are not exactly the same.


How do you identify and write the major and minor keys?

Identifying any major key is simple: The key of any song is notated at the beginning of the piece with a number of sharps and flats. The sharps and flats are always listed in the same order. Flats: B,E,A,D,G,C,F Sharps are the same but in reverse Sharps: F,C,G,D,A,E,B the listing of sharps and flats will always go in that order. example: 4 flats listed will go B,E,A,D For flats the key is notated by the second to last flat listed. In the above example that Key would be the key of A. For a song with 4 sharps (F,C,G,D) the key would be 1/2 step up from the last noted Sharp. 1/2 step up from D makes this the key of D#


What sharps are there on a violin?

Do you mean what notes with sharps can you play on the violin? You can play any note including the chromatics (sharps and flats) from its lowest pitch (G) to its highest limit (conventionally B). For contemporary music with unusual techniques, you can play all of the quarter tones, or notes between the notes of a chromatic scale.


How are major scales made?

Tone Tone Semitone Tone Tone Tone Semitone, is always the gap between notes in any major scale, which is why most scales need sharps or flats. For example, C major is: C - up a tone - D - up a tone - E - up a semitone - F - up a tone - G - up a tone - A - up a tone - B - up a semitone - C.

What is the most common musical scale?

A Musical Scale is a rising or lowering series of notes or pitches, as opposed to a cycle of intervals [the distance between two notes] which is a musical form. Each note in a scale is referred to as a scale degree. Though the scales from musical traditions around the world are often quite different, the pitches of the notes in any given scale are usually related by a mathematical rule. Scales are theoretical constructs which may be used to control a composition, but much music is written without any scale in mind. Scales may be described as tonal, modal, diatonic, derived or synthetic, and by the number of tones included.
