A major scale is an ordered collection of half- and whole-steps with the ascending succession W-W-H-W-W-W-H
Major scales are named for their first note, which is also their last note. Be sure to include any accidentals that apply to this note in its name.
Scale Degrees are solmization syllables notated by Arabic numerals with carets, angled brackets, above them.
Solfège solmization syllables are another method of naming notes in a major scale. The syllables are Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, and and Ti.
Each note of a major scale is also named with Scale-degree Names. The first note of a major scale is called the tonic; the second note, the supertonic, followed by the mediant, subdominant, dominant, submediant, and leading tone.
A key signature, consisting of either sharps or flats, appears at the beginning of a composition, after a clef but before a time signature.
The order of sharps in key signatures is F, C, G, D, A, E, and B, while the order of flats is the opposite: B, E, A, D, G, C, F. In sharp key signatures, the last sharp is a half-step below the tonic (the first note of a scale). In flat key signatures, the second-to-last flat is the tonic.
The circle of fifths is a convenient visual for remembering major key signatures. All of the major key signatures are placed on a circle, in order of number of accidentals.
