The C Major Scale

Introduction to the C Major Scale

This post serves as a comprehensive guide to the C Major scale.

The C Major Scale is the ‘pattern scale’ for Major scales.

Caution! From now on, the letter “T” under the scale will represent a Whole Tone (or Whole Step).

**As we learned in the previous chapter on Whole Tones & Semitones (Whole Steps & Half Steps), this is the sequence of a Major Scale.**

**This is the C Major scale, ascending and descending in whole notes.**

The same pattern of C Major Scale on Bass Clef!

**C Major scale ascending on the bass clef**

**C Major scale descending on the bass clef**
Check the Tones and Semitones arragment!

And C Major in whole notes on bass clef.

**Intervals between the tonic (C) and other degrees of the C Major scale.**

This is the C Major arpeggio. As we can see, it is formed by the root: C, the third: E, the fifth: G, and then the root/tonic of the triad one octave higher: C. The final C can also be considered as the tonic in the 8th octave.
