“C#/Db” Major Scale Positions – Piano Tutorials

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

Since it is a ‘C#’ major scale obviously ‘C#’ 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 C# to D# 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 F to F# the interval is “zero” (Immediate keys)
