The scale you are looking for is the chromatic scale.

This scale contains every note thus all black and all white keys on the keyboard

The use of the chromatic scale is pretty limited and mostly just used in Jazz Music.

In jazz music you would just use it as a "passing note" which means that the note isn't in the scale but since its played quickly doesnt sound much dissonant.

Sometimes this dissonant sound of a passing note is wanted in order to make the piece more interesting.

When were flats invented?

That is an interesting question, the first keyboard instruments were hydraulis - which was a water organ that had the seven modern natural notes that we know today but soon composers discovered that in between the first and second, second and third, fourth and fifth, fifth and sixth and sixth and seventh degrees of the scale - extra notes 'foreign' to the scale could be added and those notes are now represented by the modern-day black accidental keys - when starting major scales on different notes (such as G major or F major). Each black key can have two names based on what the bordering white keys are in modern tuning. For example the black key between F and G can be called 'F-sharp' which means that it is an F note which has been raised by a semitone - and at the same time it can be called 'G-flat' which means it is a G note which has been lowered by a semitone. The name of a black key (flat or sharp) is dictated by the major scale and which letter names have already been used - for example a F major scale would go like this F, G, A, Bb, C, D, E, F (not F, G, A, A♯, C, D, E, F). Flats and sharps - the accidentals - probably didn't exist until about the Baroque era, when harpsichords we're invented and I'd say the natural keys are older.


What are the notes of all dominant scales?

There is actually no such thing as a "dominant scale", however you can use the notes of a dominant 7th chord as a scale and that can begin on any note, the dominant 7th chord in C major is G7 and G7 uses all white keys (G, B, D and F), the structure of a dominant 7th chord is the major triad plus the flatted 7th.


What are the notes in a minor scale?

The "white keys" beginning with A will play an A-minor scale: A-B-C-D-E-F-G-A. The intervals between the notes (in terms of semitones) is: A(2)B(1)C(2)D(2)E(1)F(2)G(2)A You can use the same intervals to get the minor scale in other keys. For example, C-minor is: C-D-Eflat-F-G-Aflat-Bflat-C.

Why are there more white keys than black?

There are seven diatonic notes in a diatonic seven-note scale and there are five notes which are not part of the scale. The black keys (flats/sharps) are not designated as part of the basic C major scale and the notes in the C major scale are the white keys. For this reason, there are more white keys than black keys on a piano keyboard however, some of the white keys which lie on either side of the groups of two or three black keys, can be used as sharps and flats in certain cases. In the G-flat major scale, for instance, the fourth note still needs to be lowered, however the note directly below C is B, so B can be used as C-flat and likewise C can be used for B-sharp. Hope than makes sense.

What is a scale in musical terms?

A chromatic scale is a scale where each note of it is separated by a semiton - that is - it includes all the notes that exist. C1, C1#, D1, D1#, E1, F1, F1# ... B1, C2, C2#, D2... etc For instance, in a keyboard that would mean you'd play all the white and black keys sucessively.
