The Major Scale Made Easy

Each individual note in the Chromatic Scale can be turned into a key using the Major Scale formula as shown in this document.

Especially note that we use Whole steps (W) and Half steps (H) in order to determine which notes are in our Key. We used the Key of G as an example.   

Start with your Root note (G) and from there apply the Major Scale formula, moving up a Whole step (A) another Whole step (B) and a Half step (C) etc.
