	Major scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The major scale has seven notes (plus the inclusion of the tonic of the next scale to complete an octave, in practice), which in solfege are the syllables "Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti (and Do)." At the piano keyboard, the simplest major scale is C major (see figure 1).
		It is unique in that it is the only major scale to not use sharps or flats on the musical staff and consequently only the white notes on the keyboard.
		The major scale is the same as the Ionian mode.

	Major Scale of Musick by David Cherubim
		A scale is a ladder or succession of tones (or notes), starting from the keynote or tonic (the first tone on which it starts), and ending with the octave (the last tone, or tone on which it ends).
		In this scale, C is the Tonic, D is the Supertonic, E is the Mediant, F is the Subdominant, G is the Dominant, A is the Submediant or Superdominant, and B is the Subtonic or Leading Tone.
		The Major Triad of Musick (chord of three tones) is made up of the fundamental or root, major third and perfect fifth from the Major Scale (it is a chain of two thirds or two superimposed intervals of a third).

		Notice that although they look completely different, the scales of F sharp major and G flat major (numbers 5 and 6) sound exactly the same when played, on a piano as shown here, or on any other instrument using equal temperament tuning.
		Even now, there are subtle differences between the sound of a piece in one key or another, mostly because of differences in the timbre of various notes on the instruments or voices involved.

	Music Theory: Overview of all keys, key signatures, scales and triads
		To find the key signature and notes of the scale for a minor key, use the second table to find the relative major key, then look up the key signature of the relative major key.
		To find the notes of the scale for the minor key, look up the scale for the relative major key but start from the root of the minor scale (which will be the 6th of the major scale).
		Note that the key signature (and scale and triads) are not the same for F# and Gb major, even though these two notes are enharmonically equivalent, meaning they are played using the same key on a piano.
