c d e f g a b c C major scale
g a b c d e fsharp g Gmajor scale
d e f# g a b c# d Dmajor scale
a b c# d e f# g# a Amajor scale

ab bb c db eb f g ab ab Ab major scale
eb f g ab bb c d eb Eb major scale
bb c d eb f g a bb Bb major scale
f g a bb c d e f Fmajor scale
b=flat as second letter in sequence
#= sharp as read
an arpeggio is really a chord played one after an another or simultaneously
the chord sequence for a major scale is as follows:
1major 2minor 3 minor 4 major 5 major 6 minor 7 diminished 8major
1 C major chord C E G 2 D minor chord D F A 3 E minor chord 4 F major chord
5 G major chord G B D 6 A minor chord A C E 7 B diminished chord B D F 8 C major chord C E G
remember to follow the chord sequence and refer to the major scales in sequence to work out arpeggios.
I'll leave you to work the rest of the arpeggios out for yourself but if you need additional help then a Music Theory book like "AB guide to music theory"by Eric Taylor
is a good read.Or if you want additional help from me dont hesitate to E-Mail me at antonyconnolly@tiscali.co.uk I hope that has been a help

Do pentatonic scales only use black notes?
That is a misconception. Just as you can have a major scale that starts on any of the 12 tones, you can have pentatonic scales starting on any tone as well. It is the spacing and the number of notes that make a scale pentatonic. Incidentally, you can have a pentatonic melody with standard (non-pentatonic) harmonies accompanying it.

What are the scales on a piano accordion?
The scales are the same on all instruments, as they are defined in terms of notes. A C major scale will contain the same notes no matter which instrument you play. The way to play the scales various from instrument to instrument, as each will require a different technique. There are hundreds of different scales, with each their combination of notes. Most scales have 7 notes, but others have 5, 6, or 8 - and only one scale have 12 notes. You can even make up your own scales with which ever notes you want. To speak of "the scales" as such is quite an extensive subject, and I would suggest to start by learning one scale at a time instead - for instance the C major scale. The C major scale on the piano accordion is the white keys played from C to C an octave higher: C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. Use you thumb on the C, your index finger on D and the middle finger on E. To play F take your thumb and slide it under your middle finger (which is positioned on E) up to F. Now continue upwards with your index, middle and ring finger. The final note (C) can be played either with your little finger (if you plan on playing back down again) or your thumb sliding under your fourth finger the same way as when you played F (if you plan on continuing upwards). Congratulations! - You just learned your first scale on the accordion!

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).

How many musical scales are there in total?
There are many possible scales. Limiting ourselves to 12 tones in an octave of equal tempering, and assuming that a scale is no less than five notes (and no more than 12 notes, obviously), there are 1,816 unique scale patterns. Some of them probably sound ridiculous and are unusable, but many are valid scales that just haven't been explored much in western music yet.
How to play the heptatonic scale on the diatonic harmonica?
Heptatonic means any scale with 7 notes. Diatonic scales are heptatonic, but they also have to have 5 whole steps and 2 half steps placed as far from each other as possible. The major and natural minor scales are 2 out of the 7 possible diatonic scales, but there are 792 (12! / 7! (12! - 7!) ) total possible heptatonic scales. You can play 7 of them on your harmonica (the diatonic ones), but probably each one only in a certain key.
