- 3. Recap; Major scale Writedown the notes that make up the following major scales C, F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db and Gb
- 4. Minor scales • Thereare three types of minor scale; Natural minor, harmonic minor and the melodic minor. • Just like the major scales, the minor scales are built on a specific pattern of whole steps and half steps.
- 5. Harmonic and melodicminor scales • The harmonic minor scale raises the seventh note of the scale by one half step, whether you are going up or down the scale. In the melodic minor scale, the sixth and seventh notes of the scale are each raised by one half step when going up the scale, but return to the natural minor when going down the scale.
- 7. Key signature • Thekey signature comes right after the clef symbol on the staff. • It may have either some sharp symbols on particular lines or spaces, or some flat symbols, again on particular lines or spaces. • If there are no flats or sharps listed after the clef symbol, then the key signature is "all notes are natural".
- 8. Key signature • Thesharps or flats always appear in the same order in all key signatures. This is the same order in which they are added as keys get sharper or flatter. Refer to slide No 2

- 11. How to identifythe key. The figure below demonstrates quick ways to name the (major) key simply by looking at the key signature. In flat keys, the second-to-last flat names the key. In sharp keys, the note that names the key is one half step above the final sharp.
