Yo Everyone,
Find the Notes in a Scale, using the Circle of 5ths.
Again, we are still working with the Circle of 5ths. We'll use the key of C as a reference.
The Circle of Fifths can help us name the notes in any major scale. Here's how:
Look at the C scale in one octave:
C D E F G A B C
Note on the circle that the 1st note is C. The 2 note, D, is two steps to the right of C. The 3 note, E, is two steps further to the right.
Now jump across the circle -- not quite straight across -- to the 4 note, which always sits to the left of the root note C in the Circle of Fifths, which will be F.
Once you have the 4 note, the 5, 6, and 7 notes are respectively two steps to the right from each other.
That little pattern works with any key. If you were to "spin" the markers for the 1st through 7th scale positions, so that another note is the root note, the pattern works the same way.
As you can see, the Notes are numbered inside the Circle of 5ths to make it easy to find the C Majore scale. This works for any Scale.
