How many major scales are there?
There are 7 white notes, and 5 black notes on the piano, so all together you have 12 different notes, and therefore, 12 different sounding major scales.If we include the three enharmonic ones - that makes fifteen key signatures and, therefore, fifteen major scales in total.They are, from the flattest key (the one with the most amount of flats) to the sharpest key, in order: Cb, Gb, Db, Ab, Eb, Bb, F, C, G, D, A, E, B, F# and C#. These are all the "real keys".Now, if you want to get theory crazy - you can look at the "imaginary scales" as well - which are scales you can figure out theoretically, but you wouldn't use them for practical reasons. This would include keys like D# Major (9 sharps) and Gbb Major (13 flats), in which case there would be an additional 20 major scales (one for every note and its enharmonic equivalent) as well, making a total of 35 scales (for the 15 real key signatures and the 20 imaginary keys).

What is the difference between the major and the harmonic scale?

What is a major and minor scale?

How old is the key signature?
Around the Baroque era, tonality went from modal to major and minor. The key signature was born out of the rigid sequence of tones and semitones in major and minor scales.

Why do all other major scales apart from C major have black notes?
A major scale goes by the pattern, Whole-step, whole-step, half-step, whole-whole-whole-half. in C major, that's just all natural notes but in any other key that pattern causes sharps and flats.
What two major scales cotains one black note only?
The major scales with only one black key on the piano are G major (with an F sharp), and F major (with a B flat).

When singing scales in the key of C what note is fa?

What does Cm mean on the piano?
Musical notes are named repetitively from A to G with a number of sharps or flats. Music is written in "keys" based on a sequence of notes called a "scale" that are named for the first note in the sequence. A scale can be either "Major" or "Minor" depending on the actual notes in the sequence. Minor scales might be considered to be more "mournful" than the "happier" major scales. C major would be the major scale that starts with a C note (or "written in the key of C"). It would be represented as "C". C minor is the minor scale that starts with C and is distinguished with the lower case "m", hence "Cm".
Do parallel keys major and minor have the same key signature?
No. Parallel key signatures share the same tonic, or starting note. Relative minor/major are the scales that share a key signature.
