We are going to write an F-major scale in the treble clef, ascending, using quarter notes . Draw a treble clef on a staff. Then place an 'F' on the staff, the 'F' above middle 'C'. Write a note on each line and space, ascending for one octave . The 'B' itself can go either way.
Major scales follow a certain pattern of tones and semitones .
We now have to examine the intervals between each and every note to see that they conform to this pattern. We start by looking at the first two notes, 'F' and 'G'. It is a whole tone . Therefore, the first interval in the pattern, ' Tone' , is correct, and we can go on. Now let's look at the 2nd and 3rd notes, the 'G' and 'A'.
