The same way words can be spelled, musical ideas can also be spelled; be it scales, intervals, chords, chord progressions &#8211; they all can be spelled.<\/p>\n<h3>The Spelling Of A Scale<\/h3>\n<p>The spelling of a scale gives an outline of the letter name of the note or writing out the letter names of a note that the scale contains.<\/p>\n<p>To spell the C major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;you&#8217;ll have to write out the letter name of the notes of the C major scale.<\/p>\n<p>The spelling of the C major scale is C, D, E, F, G, A, B, and C.<\/p>\n<p>Spelling is important to music scholars for a variety of reasons. For example, note that while playing the D major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,E,Fs,G,A,B,Cs,D&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the third and seventh tones are F# and C#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,Cs&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;respectively<\/p>\n<p>Although F#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and Gb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gb,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are enharmonically related, also, C#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,Cs&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and Db:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,Db&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;are enharmonically related.

Let&#8217;s take a look at two of them that are relevant to this study.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>#1 &#8211; No Letter Of The Alphabet Should Be Repeated<\/p>\n<p>#2 &#8211; The Omission Of Any Letter Of The Alphabet Is Forbidden<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There are seven letters of the alphabet that are used in naming of notes in music. Which are from A to G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,B,C,D,E,F,G,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nRepetition or omission of any of these letters is totally unacceptable while spelling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/these-are-traditional-scales-learn-how-to-play-them\">traditional scales<\/a> because all traditional scales must have the note of every letter of the alphabet from A to G. Therefore, in the case of an alternate spelling of the D major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,E,Gb,G,A,B,Cs,D&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;where Gb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gb,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the third tone of the scale, there&#8217;s a repetition of the &#8216;G&#8217; letter name.<\/p>\n<p>D, E, <strong>Gb, G<\/strong>, A, B, C, D<\/p>\n<p>Notice that there&#8217;s a Gb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gb,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and also a G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and both notes are associated with G.<\/p>\n<p>A closer look at the alternate spelling of the D major scale:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>D, E, <strong>Gb, G<\/strong>, A, B, C, D<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;shows the omission of F.

However, for scholarly reasons (believe me you wouldn&#8217;t know where you would be tomorrow or the situation you&#8217;ll find yourself in), appropriate spelling of your musical ideas are important.<\/p>\n<p>Considering that our focus in this lesson is not on chords, let me show you three common major scales that musicians spell wrongly.<\/p>\n<h2>Common Major Scales That Musicians Spell Wrongly<\/h2>\n<p>There are several scales on the keyboard that musicians spell wrongly, and time will fail me to cover all of them in this lesson. However, I&#8217;ll do my best to show you these three basic scales and I believe that if you learn how to spell them properly, you&#8217;ll be able to identify other scales that are spelled wrongly and correct them.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Let&#8217;s take these three examples&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>#1 Example &#8211; The C# Major Scale<\/h3>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the spelling of the Db major scale:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Db Eb F Gb Ab Bb C Db<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So many musicians are familiar with the spelling of the Db major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,Eb,F,Gb,Ab,Bb,C,Db&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and that&#8217;s because its pretty easy.<\/p>\n<p>However, when it comes to the C# major scale, it&#8217;s a little bit difficult to get it, and this is because a vast majority of musicians are not familiar with E#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Es,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;.the enharmonic spelling of the F note. Heck, I belonged to this league before 2008 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/four-notes-i-never-knew\">read post here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>The notes commonly known as F and C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,C&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;occupy the same key note with E# and B#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Es,Bs&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAbove all, they sound alike when played; the difference is in their spelling.<\/p>\n<p>So many musicians spell the C# major scale as C#, D#, F, F#, G#, A#, C, C#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Cs,Ds,F,Fs,Gs,As,C,Cs&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and that&#8217;s wrong because of the repetition of F and the omission of E. Also, the repetition of C and the omission of B.<\/p>\n<p>Pursuant to the proper guidelines, the proper spelling of the C# major scale is C#, D#, E#, F#, G#, A#, B#, and C:<\/p>\n<h3>#2 Example &#8211; The F# Major Scale<\/h3>\n<p>It is common to see most musicians spell the F# major scale as F#, G#, A#, B, C#, D#, F, and F#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,Gs,As,B,Cs,Ds,F,Fs&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nWhile this scale may sound like the F# major scale, there&#8217;s something wrong with the spelling.<\/p>\n<p>The seventh tone of the F# major scale is rather an E# note:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Es,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;not an F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nHaving F and F#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,Fs,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;omits E and repeats F and just like I said earlier that would create an inappropriate spelling of the F# major scale.<\/p>\n<p>The appropriate spelling of the F# major scale is F#, G#, A#, B, C#, D#, E#, and F#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,Gs,As,B,Cs,Ds,Es,Fs&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nTake note that the seventh tone of the F# major scale is E#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Es,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and not F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>#3 Example &#8211; The Gb Major Scale<\/h3>\n<p>Our final example in this lesson is the Gb major scale, which is spelled as Gb, Ab, Bb, B, Db, Eb, F, and Gb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gb,Ab,Bb,B,Db,Eb,F,Gb&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;most of the time.<\/p>\n<p>The repetition of B (Bb and B):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,B,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and omission of C, makes this spelling wrong.<\/p>\n<p>The appropriate spelling of the Gb major scale is Gb, Ab, Bb, Cb, Db, Eb, F, and Gb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gb,Ab,Bb,Cb,Db,Eb,F,Gb&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nTake note that Cb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Cb,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the fourth tone of the Gb major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gb,Ab,Bb,Cb,Db,Eb,F,Gb&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and not B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you know the appropriate spelling of the major scale, do not &#8211;
