Now that you have completed the worksheet above, check your major scale answers with the answers below:

B Major

B - C# - D# - E - F# - G# - A# - B

C# / Db Major

Db - Eb - F - Gb - Ab - Bb - C - Db

D# / Eb Major

Eb - F - G - Ab - Bb - C - D - Eb

F# / Gb Major

F# - G# - A# - B - C# - D# - F - F#

Note: With the F# major scale, technically the "F" would be referred to as "E#" (even though "E" does not have a black key in front of it). But since we are not reading music, I will keep it simple.

G# / Ab Major

Ab - Bb - C - Db - Eb - F - G - Ab

A# / Bb Major

Bb - C - D - Eb - F - G - A - Bb

Congratulations on learning all 12 major scales. Join me tomorrow to learn the major chords!

Good job,
