The Major Scale

The Major Scale is one of the most common types of scales. The organization of whole tones and semitones in an ascending scale are in the following order:

Tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone semitone. 

This pattern will be in reverse when descending.

Listen to this major scale and then repeat the recording to sing along. Notice where the tones and semitones fall.

T = Tone (Whole Tone/2 semitones)

ST = Semitone
