THE C SCALE

Now that you know the name of all the main notes on the staff, we are going to put the seven notes in order to make the C SCALE. This order never changes, and will always be the same, these are the eight notes that make the C Scale: Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si, Do.

After the seven notes, you have to repeat the first note Do to make the scale. The full name is "C Major Scale", if you write the scale with only whole notes it will look like this;
