There are 3.
The scale notes are: A B C# D E F# G# and then back to A
so the 3 sharps are C#, F# and G#.
All major scales are a pattern of whole steps and half steps so if you know this pattern then even if you are not a musician you can play every major scale on a piano.
Just start with the note that begins the scale, in this case 'A'.
The pattern is 2 whole steps, then a half step, then 3 whole steps, and another half step back to the beginning note (an octave higher). On a piano, the whole steps (no matter what note you start from) are 2 keys apart.
From A to B there is a black note in between, this is a whole step. From B to C is only a half step (there is no black note in between) so you have to jump to C# (the black note to the right of C), then we come to the first half step, from C# to D (the white note immediately to the right)... and so on.
Three Sharps: F sharp, C sharp and G sharp
There are no sharps or flats in the C Major scale.
it has no sharps or flats
B flat.
none
3 sharps
1. F sharp
2. G sharp
3. C sharp
A chromatic scale will, by definition, have sharps and/or flats.
C major - No sharps or flats D major- 2 sharps (F,C) G major- 1 sharp (F) E major- 4 sharps (F,C,G,D)
The keys of C major and A minor have no sharps or flats.
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.
In the modern (tempered) major scale the interval between the third and fourth, the seventh and octave is always a semitone. In C-major where there are no sharps or flats the third and fourth notes are E and F, the seventh and octave is B and C. That is why there are no sharps or flats. It also occurs in f-major between the 7th and octave
The B major scale has 5 sharps: F#, C#, G#, D#, A#.
There are different rules. For major keys, the rule is this (by the way, # means sharp): C major scale- 0 sharps or flats G major scale- 1 sharp - F sharp D major scale- 2 sharps - F and C sharp A major scale- 3 sharps - F, C, G sharp E major scale- 4 sharps - F, C, G, D sharp B major scale- 5 sharps - F, C, G, D, A sharp F# major scale- 6 sharps - F, C, G, D, A, E sharp C# major scale - 7 sharps - F, C, G, D, A, E, B sharp. For major keys with flats: F major scale - 1 flat - B flat B flat major scale - 2 flats - B, E flat E flat major scale - 3 flats - B, E, A flat A flat major scale - 4 flats - B, E, A, D flat D flat major scale - 5 flats - B, E, A, D, G flat G flat major scale - 6 flats - B, E, A, D, G, C flat C flat major scale - 7 flats - B, E, A, D, G, C, F flat So as you might have noticed, in increasing order of sharps it is: F, C, G, D, A, E, B. And the increasing order of flats is B, E, A, D, G, C, F. If you notice the order of sharps is the opposite of the order of flats.
A chromatic scale will, by definition, have sharps and/or flats.
Just one, and that would be F sharp.
C major: no sharps, no flats F major: no sharps, B flat Bb (B flat) major: no sharps, B and E flat Eb major: no sharps; B, E, and A flat Ab major: no sharps; B, E, A, and D flat Db major: no sharps; B, E, A, D, and G flat Gb major/F# (F sharp) major: no sharps; B, E, A, D, G, and C flat / F, C, G, D, A, and E sharp; no flats B major: F, C, G, D, and A sharp; no flats E major: F, C, G, and D sharp; no flats A major: F, C, and G sharp; no flats D major: F and C sharp, no flats G major: F sharp, no flats
C major - No sharps or flats D major- 2 sharps (F,C) G major- 1 sharp (F) E major- 4 sharps (F,C,G,D)
F sharp C sharp G sharp D sharp
C D E F G A B C no sharps or flats
The C major scale is the only diatonic (major) scale without sharps or flats. The notes are simply C, D, E, F, G, A, B and C.
The keys of C major and A minor have no sharps or flats.
