What scale has just a d sharp in it?
That would be called an A minor "Gypsy Scale" (although the term "Gypsy Scale" is often applied to several different scales found in Gypsy music). It is a synthetic mode created by raising the fourth degree of the natural minor scale. It is quite likely that the seventh degree will be raised at times, also, which turns it into a minor mode of the double harmonic major scale.
What is the difference between the major and the harmonic scale?
Both of them are diatonic scales. Major scale is written as per key signature. Harmonic minor scales have a raised 7th. The semitone leaps in these scales are different.
Which notes do you play for a G major scale on clarinet?
There is one sharp in the key of G (F♯) so the scale goes in the order G, A, B, C, D, E, F♯ and G. However, on a B♭ transposing clarinet you need to play the notes A, B, C♯, D, E, F♯, G♯, and A to sound at concert pitch with the rest of the orchestra. You'll need in this case to play C♯ for B, F♯ for E, and G♯ for F♯.
What are the two syllable systems for minor scales?
There are three commonly used minor scales. Harmonic minor scales have raised 7ths. Melodic minor scales have rising 6th and 7th; where descending scale is same has natural minor which follows the key.

Where can you find violin scores?
Violin scores can be found in many different places. The following are some resourcces where music scores can be found:
- The Public Library - most, if not all, public libraries carry some music books. The selection may not be very extensive, but it is still worthwhile to check it out.
- Music Databases - there are a number of different databases that contain music scores. Your local public library may subscribe to one of these databases (Music Online and Classical Scores Library are two examples), which would allow you to have access to it - though you will likely need to have a valid library card in order to do so.
- IMSLP (the International Music Score Library Project - see related links), which contains free access to music in the public domain.
- Online Music Stores - there are many different places online where violin scores can be purchased. Some sites allow users to simply download a score once they pay for it, while others only provide hardcopies. A simple google search will yield a vast selection of merchants to choose from.
- Music stores - depending on where you live, you might be able to visit a non-virtual store to browse the music scores in person. Some stores, like Mr. Entertainment, have a limited selection, especially when it comes to music that is more advanced and/or isn't of a popular genre.
What examples are there of hypo-tonic drinks?

What are the sharps in the key of F major?
There aren't any. The key of F consists of 1 flat: B flat.
Why write f flat instead of e?
Assuming there is an E flat in the key signature, a very common reason why a composer or songwriter would choose to write an F flat instead of an E natural is because you already have the E flatted in the key signature.
For example, lets take the key of Ab Major (four flats), in this case it would make more sense to write an F flat than alter the E flat so you don't have to constantly naturalise and flatten the E - which would make the written music full of unnecessary accidentals and difficult to read.
Even in C major (all naturals), for example if you wanted to add more expression when modulating to the dominant by raising the third and fourth degrees of the scale, you would use C, D, E♯, F♯ and G. You could write C, D, F, F♯ and G, which is okay, but it would look a lot neater if you used the E♯.
It is for this reason why double sharps and double flats may be used instead of the usual natural, and also why "white notes" having enharmonics come in very handy.
What is it called when the subject of a fugue is presented in the dominant scale?
It is called the "answer".
What notes are on the G scale for the violin?
