The cat is out the bag. You haven’t mastered you yet. It’s okay. Development is a life long
journey. Flowers bloom and the rest. You are the same.
Let’s get back into it.
Majors and Minors
Major Scales
Major Scale Formula: WWHWWWH
Whole Step, Whole Step, Half Step, Whole Step, Whole Step, Whole Step, Half Step…
C (Root) - D - E - F - G - A - B - C (Octave)
C to D = Whole Step
D to E = Whole Step
E to F = Half Step (think about the piano; no black key between these two notes)
F to G = Whole Step
G to A = Whole Step
A to B = Whole Step
B to C = Half Step (again, no black key between these two notes)
D (Root) - E - F# - G - A - B - C# - D (Octave)
D to E = Whole Step
E to F# = Whole Step (before E to F was half, but if you go another half you get F# to make it
whole)
F# to G = Half Step
G to A = Whole Step
A to B = Whole Step
B to C# = Whole Step (Before we had B to C which is half, well we went another half to make it
whole)
C# to D = Half Step
Repeat this for the remaining Major Scales
Minor Scales
Minor Scale Formula: WHWWHWW
Whole Step Half Step Whole Step Whole Step Half Step Whole Step Whole Step
A (Root) - B - C - D - E - F - G - A (Octave)
A to B = Whole Step

3. B to C = Half Step
C to D = Whole Step
D to E = Whole Step
E to F = Half Step
F to G = Whole Step
G to A = Whole Step
B (Root) - C#/Db - D - E - F#/Gb - G - A - B (Octave)
B to C#/Db = Whole Step
C#/Db to D = Half Step
D to E = Whole Step
E to F#/Gb = Whole Step
F#/Gb to G = Half Step
G to A = Whole Step
A to B = Whole Step
Repeat the same for the remaining Minor Scales.
These are your
fi
rst words. This this how they go together. It’s like a di
ff
erent room di
ff
erent
take but has a
fl
ow. When you go to the kitchen the sequence is di
ff
erent than when you go to
the bathroom. When you’re happy, think major. When your sad, think minor. That’s a broad
scope, but a good starting point.
Major and Minor Song Examples
Major Key Examples:
1. "Happy Birthday" - This traditional birthday song is typically sung in a major key and has a
joyful and celebratory feel.
2. "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" - Another familiar nursery rhyme that is usually sung in a major
key, conveying a sense of innocence and wonder.
3. "Over the Rainbow" (from The Wizard of Oz) - This iconic song, sung by Judy Garland, is in
the key of C major and has a hopeful and uplifting quality.
4. "Hey Jude" by The Beatles - This classic Beatles song is in the key of F major and has a
catchy and optimistic feel.
Minor Key Examples:
1. "Greensleeves" - This traditional English folk song is often played in a minor key and has a
melancholic and re
fl
ective tone.
2. "Eleanor Rigby" by The Beatles - This Beatles song is primarily in the key of E minor,
creating a somber and introspective atmosphere.
3. "Für Elise" by Ludwig van Beethoven - A famous piano piece composed by Beethoven, "Für
Elise" is in the key of A minor and has a haunting and mysterious quality.
4. "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica - This rock ballad is primarily in the key of E minor,
evoking a sense of introspection and emotion.
Before we conclude, I’d like to encourage you to
fi
gure out those songs you love where do they
fi
t within the musical emotive tonality. Is it happy, upbeat or is it slower, somber tones.

4. I’d like to think exploring and analyzing what interest us than to take us into a foreign land with
foreign language would be too much.
While listening, take some notes. It would be good for you to know how the song makes you
feel, what catches your rhythm
fi
rst. What is the message? Why does it a
ff
ect me? Keep
digging within.
