Calmer’s Scale Builder You need to know : What keys are sharp and what keys are flat.

Sharp Keys The following keys are sharp keys: G,D,A,E,B,F#,C#

Flat Keys The following keys are flat keys: F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Cb

Natural Key The following key is the natural key: C No Sharps, No Flats White keys of piano.

Flat and Sharp Keys Flat Keys F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Cb Sharp Keys G, D, A, E, B, F#, C # Sharp keys have Sharp accidental or are single letters. Flats keys have flat accidentals except for F.

Scale Properties In addition to interval relationships, each pitch of a scale has a name and characteristic.

Scale Properties C D E F G A B C Scale Degree: first Name: Tonic Often the beginning and ending tone of a composition, and Usually the most frequently used tone in a composition. Feeling of rest, stability or “home base.”

Scale Properties C D E F G A B C Scale Degree: second Name: Supertonic Active or unstable tone, generally leads to first or third degree.

Scale Properties C D E F G A B C Scale Degree: third Name: mediant Rest tone, important in distinction between major and minor.

Scale Properties C D E F G A B C Scale Degree: fourth Name: subdominant Active or unstable tone, usually leads to third degree.

Scale Properties C D E F G A B C Scale Degree: fifth Name: dominant Rest tone, usually second most frequently used tone; often used for upbeats.

Scale Properties C D E F G A B C Scale Degree: sixth Name: submediant Active tone, often leads to fifth degree.

Scale Properties C D E F G A B C Scale Degree: seventh Name: Leading tone Active tone, usually leads to first degree.

Build the following scale Db

Build the following scale Db Eb F Gb Ab Bb C Db Now write the key signature (treble).

Build the following scale Db Eb F Gb Ab Bb C Db b b b b b

Build the following scale D

D E F# G A B C# D Now write the key signature (bass).
