In
this new scale we keep the F# from
G major and add the new C# on
the 7th degree.
The extra sharp is always on the 7th note. If you
compare the first half of this scale with the second half (notes
1-2-3-4 with notes 5-6-7-8) You may notice that the semitone
arrangement is the same i.e 1-2 (and 5-6) is a Tone: 2-3 (and
6-7) is also a Tone and 3-4 (and 7-8 is a Semitone) These two
partitions are called tetra-chords. If you compare the first
tetra-chord of D major with the second tetra-chord of G major
you will notice that they are the same. This is a rule that
occurs throughout the 'circle of' of key signatures on the
'sharp' side - e.g. the final 4 notes of C major (scale) will be
the first 4 notes of G major and the final 4 notes of G major
will be the first 4 notes of D major and so on.

This
is another new major scale
Bb major. Here we
add E flat to the B flat that belongs to
F major. Eb occurs on the 4th degree of the scale. Bb major
is an Interval of a 4th (that is if we count all four letter
names F-G-A-B) from F to the note Bb we get an interval of a 4th
(more about intervals later) As the new flat Eb is also a 4th
interval from the previous Bb (in F major) then (if you're
following me) you may be able to work out the next 'flat' key.
(see grade 3)
Notice that the new
flat is written in the top space of the
treble clef
and correspondingly in the 3rd space of the
bass clef
