“F” Major Scale Positions – Piano Tutorials

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

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