G major and its F sharp
One more look at what you missed.
Now start the major pattern on G.
Whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half, as before. Only the first note changes.
G, A, B, C, D, E: the white keys fit so far.
Whole, whole, half, whole, whole. Next the pattern needs one more whole step, after E.
The pattern needs a whole step after E. Does F work?
So the seventh note is F sharp, the black key above F.
E to F sharp is a whole step, and F sharp to G is the last half step.
Hear G major with F sharp, then with plain F.
The second one sounds off at the very end: F is too far below G.
No sound? Check your volume, and that your phone is not on silent.
Play G major: G, A, B, C, D, E, F sharp, G.
For the seventh note, use the black key just above F.
Listen. Is this G major?
G major has one sharp: F sharp. The rest are white keys.
Nobody chose that sharp. The pattern of steps asked for it.
Which note is sharp in G major?
You can build G major.
What you learned
- G major follows the same pattern as C major, from G.
- Its seventh note must be F sharp, a whole step above E.
- So G major has one sharp, and the pattern is the reason.
