Piano major scale - Guide and examples
Understanding the Piano major scale is one of the most important basic subjects of any musical study. If one wants to improve his skills and become a capable musician, he must study piano major scales.
The most basic piano major scale is C major. It consists of the following notes
C, D, E, F, G, A, B
This is the root for which most of the modern used scales come from.
There are of course many other forms, but for you to understand their theory you must first turn the major scales into you second nature.
How do you construct a major scale?
There is a rule regarding the tonality of the scales is subject to the interval between the two. In major scales the interval between each note is represented by one or half a tone also known as minor second and major second.
For example between the note C and D there is a whole tone interval. You can see this on the piano keys as there is a black key between the two which represents half a tone interval.
Between E and F there is only half a tone (minor second), and as you can see there are no black notes between these two.
The piano major scale structure:
C - Tone - D – Tone – E – Half Tone – F – Tone – G – Tone – A – Half Tone – B – Tone – C
As you can see the C major scale is built of two tones, one half, two more tones, one half and one tone.
You can use this method to create any major scale from any note you desire by following these rules.
This is the basics of the Piano major scale, it might be a bit confusing at the beginning and I would suggest finding a system that can teach you step by step how to use music theory.

Building an H0 scale room?
I've dabbled in miniatures for years, and dioramas for months, but I need some help with my current project.
I'm trying to do an H0 scale replica of Sherlock Holmes' study, based largely off this illustration:
http://www.stutler.cc/other/misc/baker_street.html
I've already purchased furniture, windows and a door from Scale Structures Ltd. But I have no idea how to construct the room itself. I fear because it's so specific I may have to scratch build it. What's a good material to use?
I have experience with hydrocal and polymer clay, but I'm not sure either will work well for this. Any advise would be most appreciated.
Also, does anyone know who makes good wood flooring, wall paper, etc. in H0 scale? I bought a sheet of wood flooring from SS Ltd but it looks awful.
Thanks so much!
I use a product called Gator board for some of my HO projects. I've also used styrofoam insulation to imitate cement or concrete building exteriors.See if any of the flooring companies have discontinued samples. Sometimes they have scraps from jobs that wind up being thrown away. You will wind up scratch building unless you have very deep pockets and can afford period correct elements. In other words, you're going to have to spend heavy to get the right stuff!
