To play E♯
in the F♯
scale, you move 1 half step up from E. Since there aren’t
any black keys available, the F key becomes E♯.
This is because each scale contains all 8 alphabetic notes
(the scale root key note is played twice). No two notes
(except the root note) are repeated.
For example, take the F♯
scale.
Going in order of the alphabet from F you would have . . .
F G A B C D E F
Remember that in music, the scale begins to repeat after G.
The scale key of F♯
has 6 sharps: F♯,
C♯,
G♯,
D♯,
A♯,
E♯
Instead of the looking like this . . .
F♯
G♯
A♯
B C♯
D♯
F
F♯
The F♯
scale will look like this . . .
F♯
G♯
A♯
B C♯
D♯
E♯
