Fascinating Fact:

G major has one sharp, F sharp. Always play F sharp unless cancelled by a natural sign.

In Specialist Music Theory Grade 1 Scales Part 2, you’ll focus on G major. You’ll connect the key signature to sound, step through scale notes smoothly, and practise simple fingering so melodies feel secure and tuneful.

  • Key signature: Sharps or flats written after the clef that apply to the whole piece (or until changed).
  • Sharp (♯): Raises a note by a semitone. In G major, F becomes F♯.
  • Natural (♮): Cancels a sharp or flat for the note it marks within that bar.
What notes are in the G major scale for Grade 1?

The G major scale is G, A, B, C, D, E, F♯, G. It follows the pattern tone–tone–semitone–tone–tone–tone–semitone.

How should I play the G major scale on piano?

Use steady counting and these basics: RH 1-2-3, 1-2-3-4-5; LH 5-4-3-2-1-3-2-1. Keep fingers curved and pass the thumb smoothly.

What does a natural sign do in G major pieces?

A natural (♮) cancels a sharp or flat for that specific note in the bar. For example, it can change F♯ back to F just for that passage.
