It’s important to note that e flat is half-step lower than d sharp. You can also raise D up a quarter step to make it D# in the same way that you can lower E a half step. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s take a look at the notes that make up the major scale.
In other words if you were to play a C major chord: (see list)
- It would sound like this: c
- E
- F
- G
- A
- B
- Then you’d play it as c d e f g a b c
- So on
C. If you played that same chord in a minor key until you reached the end of that scale at which point the chord would be called a dominant chord.
This is why you’ll often hear people refer to a chord as “major” or “minor” when they’re talking about a song’s chord progression.

What note is BB?
The major scale is based on B, with pitches B, C, D, E, F, G, and A. The relative minor is G minor while the parallel minor is A minor. The major pentatonic scale is the same as the major triad, except that it has three flats instead of two.
It has a minor third at the end of the scale, as well as a flat major third in the middle. The major seventh is called the dominant seventh, while the minor seventh and major sixth are called minor thirds.
Is D higher than E-flat?
The order of the flats goes down by fifths: b-flat, e-flat, a-flat, d-flat, g-flat, bb, eb, f#, c#. In the key of C Major, the notes are the same as in the previous example, except that they are lower in pitch. This is because the C major scale is based on the natural minor scale, which is a minor triad.
The notes of a scale are called “notes” because they can be played in any order. A note is called a “tone” if it has a frequency of one octave above or below the note that it is named after. For instance, a note named “A” is an A major tone, while “B” and “C” are B major and C minor tones, respectively.
What are the 7 musical notes?
H are the main musical notes in the scale. The pitch of a note depends on the frequency of the sound it produces. The frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz), which is defined as the number of cycles per second (1 cycle = 1/60th second).
The higher the note’s frequency the higher its pitch will be. In other words, a C note will have a higher pitch than a B note, because the C notes are higher in frequency than the B notes.
Is B-flat higher than C?
B flat euphonium is 1 full tone (2 half tones) lower than a C instrument such as a piano. To play the same note, the euphonium will need to play two half tones higher. The euphonium is a B flat instrument, which is 2 half tones lower on the scale than C. The C major pentatonic scale is: C, D, E, F#, G, A, B, C#.
Is G flat the same as F-sharp?
Any notes that sounds the same or are the same pitch with different names are called enharmonic equivalents. F sharp and G flat are examples of this. Other examples include C sharp, D flat, F flat, and E flat. A note that is a combination of two or more notes is called a triad.
C triads are C, D, E, F, G. A C and a D are a C-D-E-F-G, and so on. Triads can also be made up of more than two notes, as in the case of the C major triadic scale, which consists of three Cs, three Ds and three Fs.
