Notes of the musical scale?

Answer:
The notes of the musical scale always follow a set pattern of Tones and Semitones. If you look at a piano keyboard, 1 key up is a semitone, 2 keys up is a tone.

The major scale is

Start note, tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone, semitone

N - T- T - ST - T - T - T - ST
c - d - e - f - g - a - b - c

Hence, the scale of D major would then be


N - T- T - ST - T - T - T - ST
d - e - f# - g - a - b - c# -d

E major
e - f# - g#- a - b - c# - d# e

F major
f - g - a - Bb - c - d - e - f

etc.

The Harmonic Major Scale is

Start note, Tone, Semitone, Tone, Tone, semitone, 3semitones, Semitone

i.e.

C minor

N - T - ST - T - T - ST - 3ST - ST
C - D - Eb - F - G - Ab - B - C

D minor

D - E - F - G - A - Bb - C# - D

etc.
