Between these letters the bars are situated one-half step apart in pitch. One whole step separates the remaining bars in the continuous row. The Major Scale A major scale is a progression from any tone to its octave in which chromatic steps are omitted between I and 2, 2 and 3, 4 and 5, 5 and 6, 6 and 7; from 3 to 4 and from 7 to 8 half steps are made. All scales "spell" in alphabetical order. It will be remembered that only the first seven letters of the alphabet are used in the "music alphabet," and therefore the letter which follows G in order is A.

All major keys except C require one or more "accidental." The number of sharps or flats required for a key is placed at the beginning of the staff and is called the signature. A sharp (#) placed before a note raises the tone one-half step, and a flat (b) lowers a tone one-half step. A double sharp (##) placed before a note raises the tone one whole step, and a double flat (bb) lowers a tone one whole step. The cancel, also called "natural," (k)) restores a tone which has previously been affected by a sharp, double sharp, flat, or double flat.
