Animated Example of a Flat Scale

1. Write the notes in the scale starting with G and ending with G.

2. Add the W-W-H-W-W-W-H pattern betweenthe adjacent, ascending notes of the scale.

3. Mark the spaces between notes whichdon't match the pattern with *.

E-F is not a Whole Step and F-G is not a Half Step.

4. Use accidentals to make the marked notesfit the pattern.

Raising F to F#makes E-F# a Whole Step and F#-Ga Half Step.

We now have a G Major Scale!!
