Absolutely! Let’s solve this step by step. The goal is to write out the
G Major,
C Major, and
F Major scales using the correct notes and accidentals (sharps or flats), following the major scale pattern:
Whole - Whole - Half - Whole - Whole - Whole - Half
*(W-W-H-W-W-W-H)*
This pattern applies to all major scales — you just start on the tonic (root note) and apply the intervals.

## 🔹 1. G Major Scale (Treble Clef)
Tonic (starting note): G
Apply the W-W-H-W-W-W-H pattern:
- G → A (Whole step)
- A → B (Whole step)
- B → C (Half step)
- C → D (Whole step)
- D → E (Whole step)
- E → F♯ (Whole step) ← *This is the only accidental in G Major*
- F♯ → G (Half step)
✔ So, the
G Major scale is:
G - A - B - C - D - E - F♯ - G
📝 On the staff (treble clef), you’d write:
- Line 2: G
- Space above: A
- Line 3: B
- Space above: C
- Line 4: D
- Space above: E
- Line 5: F♯ (add a sharp sign ♯ before F)
- Space above: G

Accidental needed: F♯

## 🔹 2. C Major Scale (Bass Clef)
Tonic: C
Apply W-W-H-W-W-W-H:
- C → D (Whole)
- D → E (Whole)
- E → F (Half)
- F → G (Whole)
- G → A (Whole)
- A → B (Whole)
- B → C (Half)
✔ So, the
C Major scale is:
C - D - E - F - G - A - B - C
📝 On the staff (bass clef), you’d write:
- Line 3: C
- Space above: D
- Line 4: E
- Space above: F
- Line 5: G
- Space above: A
- Line 6 (or ledger line): B
- Space above: C
> 🎼
No accidentals needed — C Major has no sharps or flats!
---
## 🔹 3. F Major Scale (Treble Clef)
Tonic: F
Apply W-W-H-W-W-W-H:
- F → G (Whole)
- G → A (Whole)
- A → B♭ (Half) ← *First accidental*
- B♭ → C (Whole)
- C → D (Whole)
- D → E (Whole)
- E → F (Half)
✔ So, the
F Major scale is:
F - G - A - B♭ - C - D - E - F
📝 On the staff (treble clef):
- Line 4: F
- Space above: G
- Line 5: A
- Space above: B♭ (add flat sign ♭ before B)
- Line 6 (ledger line): C
- Space above: D
- Line 7 (ledger line): E
- Space above: F
> 🎼
Accidental needed: B♭

##
✔ Final Answer Summary:
1. G Major Scale (Treble Clef):
G - A - B - C - D - E - F♯ - G
→ Add
F♯ (sharp)
2. C Major Scale (Bass Clef):
C - D - E - F - G - A - B - C
→
No accidentals
3. F Major Scale (Treble Clef):
F - G - A - B♭ - C - D - E - F
→ Add
B♭ (flat)

## 💡 Tip for Remembering:
-
G Major = 1 sharp (F♯)
-
C Major = 0 sharps/flats
-
F Major = 1 flat (B♭)
You can also use the “circle of fifths” or the “sharp/flat order” to remember key signatures!
