The C major scale is the C 5-finger scale plus two added notes-A and B.
• Are all seven letters of the musical alphabet used in a major scale?
In the Key of C:
The Ist tone, C, is the tonic.
The 5th tone, G, is the dominant.
The 6th tone, A, is a whole step above the dominant.
The 7th tone, B, is the leading tone. It is a half-step
below C and pulls to C, the tonic.
