Let’s work through each part of the worksheet step by step.
---
Part 1: Write the notes of the scale on the piano keys.
The C Major scale uses only white keys on the piano, starting from C and going up to the next C. The notes are:
C – D – E – F – G – A – B – C
On the piano keyboard shown, you would write these letters under or above the corresponding white keys — starting with C (the first white key in the group), then D, E, F, G, A, B, and finally the next C.
✔ So, fill in the boxes under the piano keys with:
C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C
---
Part 2: Circle the pairs of semitones in the scale.
In music, a “semitone” is the smallest distance between two adjacent notes — like from E to F, or B to C. In the C Major scale, there are only two places where this happens naturally:
- Between
E and F
- Between
B and C
So, look at the line:
C D E F G A B C
Circle the pair
E–F and the pair
B–C.
✔ Circled pairs:
(E,F) and
(B,C)
---
Part 3: Fill in the notes of the scale in ascending and descending order.
You’re given two staircases:
Left staircase (ascending): starts at bottom with “C”, goes up → should be:
C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C
Right staircase (descending): starts at top with “C”, goes down → should be:
C, B, A, G, F, E, D, C
Just write those notes in each box as you go up or down the stairs.
✔ Ascending: C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C
✔ Descending: C, B, A, G, F, E, D, C
---
Part 4: Complete the scale and add in the accidentals.
This shows two staves (treble and bass clef) with some notes already written. You need to complete the full C Major scale in both directions.
Since it’s C Major, there are NO sharps or flats — so no accidentals needed!
Look at the treble clef: It starts low and goes up — probably missing the higher notes. Add the rest of the scale upward until you reach high C.
Bass clef: Starts high and goes down — add lower notes down to low C.
Example for treble clef if it ends at middle C: keep adding D, E, F, G, A, B, C going up.
For bass clef, if it starts at middle C going down: add B, A, G, F, E, D, C going down.
✔ No accidentals needed. Just fill in the missing notes of the C Major scale in each direction.
---
Part 5: Complete the scale and write in the key signature.
Again, C Major has NO sharps or flats in its key signature.
Treble clef: Looks like it starts high and goes down — complete it downward to low C.
Bass clef: Starts low and goes up — complete it upward to high C.
And since it’s C Major, leave the key signature blank (no # or b symbols).
✔ Key signature: empty (nothing added)
✔ Notes: Complete the scale in each staff using only natural notes (C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C)
