(Use the space below the question to respond.)
Follow the example:
EX: C major.:CDEFGABC (C major has no sharps and flats )
C minor: C D Eb F G Ab Bb C(C minor has 3 flats: Bb Eb Ab)

1. F# Major Scale
2. f# Minor Scale

Answer 1

F# Major scale follows the pattern W, W, H, W, W, W, H and contains the notes F# G# A# B C# D# E# F#. The f# minor scale has two variations; the natural minor with the notes F# G# A B C# D E F#, and the harmonic minor, which raises the seventh note, resulting in the notes F# G# A B C# D E# F#.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking for the construction of ascending parallel scales in F# Major and f# minor. These scales are part of music theory, a fundamental element in learning to play instruments like the piano.

F# Major Scale

F# Major has six sharps and follows the pattern of whole and half steps as: W, W, H, W, W, W, H, which translates to the notes: F# G# A# B C# D# E# F#.

f# minor Scale

The f# minor scale can be constructed in two ways: the natural minor and the harmonic minor. The natural f# minor follows the pattern W, H, W, W, H, W, W: F# G# A B C# D E F#. The harmonic minor raises the seventh note and follows the pattern W, H, W, W, H, WH, H, resulting in: F# G# A B C# D E# F#.
