#TheoryThursday: The Major Scale

Continuing in our vein of transcribing pitch, we move on to scales.

The major scale is a set of notes that sounds pleasing to our ears. It can be described as a series of tones and semitones (these are the gaps between the notes). To write this starting on C, we use the lines and spaces on the great staff.

To write it starting on other notes, we have to use sharps (#) and flats (b).
