In music theory, there are 12 major scales and their relative minor scales. Each major scale consists of a specific pattern of whole steps (W) and half steps (H) between its notes, while the relative minor scale shares the same key signature as its major counterpart.
Here are all the major and relative minor scales:
- C Major (no sharps or flats) – A Minor (no sharps or flats)
- G Major (1 sharp – F♯) – E Minor (1 sharp – F♯)
- D Major (2 sharps – F♯, C♯) – B Minor (2 sharps – F♯, C♯)
- A Major (3 sharps – F♯, C♯, G♯) – F♯/G♭ Minor (3 sharps – F♯, C♯, G♯)
- E Major (4 sharps – F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯) – C♯/D♭ Minor (4 sharps – F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯)
- B Major (5 sharps – F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯) – G♯/A♭ Minor (5 sharps – F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯)
- F♯/G♭ Major (6 sharps – F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯, E♯/F) – D♯/E♭ Minor (6 sharps – F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯, E♯/F)
