It&#8217;s not going to alter the way you play. As long as you have the RIGHT notes, it&#8217;s all going to come out the same way when played. We all know that.<\/p>\n<p>But why not spell it right? That&#8217;s always my underlying philosophy when I write about these sort of things. Why settle for bad <em>musical grammar<\/em> when you don&#8217;t have to? <em>Especially when there are easy little rules to remember&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So here are 4 simple rules to making sure your major scales are labeled correctly:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>1) Always use ALL alphabet letters (if even ONE letter is missing from your major scale, it&#8217;s WRONG)<\/p>\n<p>2) Never skip any alphabet letters (this one is like rule #1 because if you&#8217;re skipping something, it&#8217;s missing and that&#8217;s WRONG)<\/p>\n<p>3) Never duplicate any alphabet letters (only ONE unique alphabet letter per tone&#8230; if you&#8217;re duplicating, you&#8217;re most likely skipping another letter and that means it&#8217;s _________ &#8230; you know it! &#8230;WRONG!)<\/p>\n<p>4) In major scales, sharps go with sharps&#8230; flats go with flats! Don&#8217;t mix and match and you&#8217;ll be fine! (Note: Not all scales operate this way. For example, melodic and harmonic minor scales may have mixed sharps and flats, among others&#8230; but that&#8217;s another lesson).\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So let&#8217;s take our incorrect scales and figure out where they have broken the rules&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>F# major<\/strong> (incorrect)<br \/>\nF# &#8211; G# &#8211; A# &#8211; B &#8211; C# &#8211; D# &#8211; F &#8211; F#\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In this scale, the letter &#8220;E&#8221; wasn&#8217;t used at all. That breaks rule #1. Why? Because we totally skipped it by using two &#8220;F&#8217;s.&#8221; That pretty much breaks rules 2 and 3.<\/p>\n<p>That &#8220;F&#8221; is the problem. We need to use some kind of E there. All letters are required or we fail the test. What can we do the E to make it sound like F?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> Sharp it! So we turn our E into E# and this helps our scale to be complete. Now we&#8217;re using all letters, and thus, not skipping or duplicating any.<\/p>\n<p>Correct way<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>F# major<\/strong> (correct)<br \/>\nF# &#8211; G# &#8211; A# &#8211; B &#8211; C# &#8211; D# &#8211; E# &#8211; F#\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>*Another &#8220;unwritten rule&#8221; (not shown in my list, that is) concerns the number of sharps or flats a major scale has. Notice now that the F# major scale has <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">6 unique sharps<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script> (don&#8217;t include the second F# at the end). When we spelled it incorrectly, it only had 5 sharps. If you look at any <em>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">circle of fifths<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script>&#8220;<\/em> chart, you will see that F# is supposed to have 6 sharps. So we pass that test, too!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Gb major<\/strong> (incorrect)<br \/>\nGb &#8211; Ab &#8211; Bb &#8211; B &#8211; Db &#8211; Eb &#8211; F &#8211; Gb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This scale has the same problem. We used the letter &#8220;B&#8221; twice and we skipped C altogether. Simply calling the &#8220;B&#8221; a &#8220;Cb&#8221; will solve this problem.<\/p>\n<p>Correct way&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Gb major<\/strong> (correct)<br \/>\nGb &#8211; Ab &#8211; Bb &#8211; Cb &#8211; Db &#8211; Eb &#8211; F &#8211; Gb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>*And just like F#, Gb should have six unique flats. We weren&#8217;t getting that when we were spelling it incorrectly. Now we do. So spelling correctly has its benefits! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>So remember&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s your &#8220;I just wanna play&#8221; method &#8212; and there&#8217;s your &#8220;pass a music theory test&#8221; method. Usually, I&#8217;m operating under the second but it depends on what my purpose is.<\/p>\n<p>I know that many people read this blog&#8230; mainly people who &#8220;just want to play.&#8221; And sometimes, if I have to throw a &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">C flat<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script>&#8221; out there on a lesson that is focusing totally on something else &#8212; as a teacher who doesn&#8217;t want anyone to be super confused, I feel like I have to STOP and explain that &#8220;C flat&#8221; if I&#8217;m going to throw it out there&#8230; or the whole lesson is messed up from that point on because someone who has never heard of C flat will be thrown off. <\/p>\n<p>So sometimes, I&#8217;m <em>&#8220;innocently&#8221;<\/em> guilty of just calling it &#8220;B&#8221; and moving on to the main meat of my lesson. But don&#8217;t worry, if I do it, I usually preface it by calling it the &#8220;informal&#8221; way.<\/p>\n<p>Even I have two natures so that&#8217;s why I come from BOTH places when I&#8217;m teaching. I know some people could careless if it&#8217;s called &#8220;B,&#8221; &#8220;C flat&#8221; or &#8220;Z.&#8221; They just want to know if it&#8217;s in their major chord and if it&#8217;s going to make them sound good. And I totally understand that. After all, we teach how to play by ear and most people who fall under our category <em>just wanna play.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So there you have it!
