How Do You Play A D Flat Major Scale?
“We would look at the D flat major scale. Let’s look at the D flat major scale on the staff. The first note is D flat, 2nd note E flat, 3rd F, 4th G flat, 5th A flat, 6th B flat, 7th C. These notes fit the patterns of the whole and half steps. We have a whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, and whole step to fit the major scale pattern. As you can see there are different notes that have been flatten or altered from their natural state in order to fit this pattern. This is why it is possible to fit the major scale to start from D flat. It easy to see how it works when you look at this half step distance. You start on F and you increase a half step to G flat. In order for the half step to be possible we had to put a flat by G. This is also the same when you are going up a whole step to A flat you must make the A flat because the distance between the 2 is a whole step and that fits the pattern. I will now play for you a example of the scale.
