‘B’ Major Scale Positions – Piano Tutorials

Notes:  B-1, C#-2, D#-3, E-4, F#-5, G#-6, A#-7, B-8

Since it is a ‘B’ major scale obviously ‘B’ will be first note, how to find the remaining notes ?

The simple formula which is used for any major scale:

One- One- Zero- One-One- One-Zero  (1-1-0-1-1-1-0)

What do you mean by Ones and Zeros ?

One’s (whole step) – If there is a one key between two notes, then the interval of those two notes is One.

Eg: from B to C# the interval is “one key”

Zero’s (half step) – If there are no keys or zero keys between two notes, then the interval of those two notes is Zero

Eg: from D# to E the interval is “zero” (Immediate keys)
