Here is a C major scale. There is a half-step between B and C,

which I've shown with a 'v'. Find and mark the other half-step.

Intro to Major Scales

?Write a C major scale in bass clef , starting on C3 (shown below)

Mark the two half-steps.

&

We can label the notes of a scale in two ways, with scale degrees (numbers with hats),

or with solfege. Finish writing scale degrees above the scale, and solfege below.

&

Each pair of notes below is a whole step apart.

Add an accidental to the second note to make the notes a half step apart.

Write each of the following major scales in treble and bass clef, with any necessary accidentals.

Remember: whole-whole-half, whole-whole-whole-half 

Include solfege syllables and scale degrees, and mark the half steps.

This is the Hungarian canon that we learned in class this week. I've notated the rhythm correctly, but

instead of notating the pitches, I've written the solfege for each note below the staff (d=Do, r=Re, etc.).

&Write the Hungarian canon in D major (the first two notes have been done for you). Use the work

you did above (notating D major and labeling the solfege) to help.
