Major Scale Pattern

Major Scale Pattern

Major Scale Pattern

Once you know the pattern of tones and semitones used to create the C major scale, you can build a major scale on any of the twelve notes used in music. It is important to memorize this pattern, which is shown below.

Remember that the tones and semitones represent the distances between the notes, not the notes (or scale degrees) themselves. The semitones are always found between the 3rd and 4th, and 7th and 8th degrees of the scale. All the other notes are a tone apart.
