major scales
Bright-sounding tone sequences
Major scales are the most fundamental pattern in Western music, built on a specific sequence of whole and half steps that produces the familiar do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti-do sound.
Each major scale takes its name from its starting note: C major, G major, B-flat major.
The pattern creates a bright, stable quality that serves as the foundation for harmony and melody.
