What’s In

What are your favorite songs? What made you pick this song?

Many people like songs with a melody that is easy to sing along to. Others like
songs with an upbeat rhythm. There are melodies so beautiful and hard to forget that
you can hum it all day long.

Melody is the succession of tones and the combination of pitch and rhythm
in a composition. It is the most basic element of communication between the
composer and the listener. Melody gives a sense of movement, direction, and shape
to the tones.
In this module part, you will know how melodies move. You will analyze the
direction and distance of notes on the staff and sing a melody of your own.

3
To understand how melodies work, it is important to know a musical term related
to melody called interval. Interval is the distance between two given notes. The
interval of notes may be melodic or harmonic.

(notes are arranged vertically) ( notes are arranged horizontally )

Contour is the rising or falling movement of melody. Notes move in narrow interval
going up or down the staff. This is called step. When notes move up or down in
wider intervals, it is called a skip. Notes can also be repeated.

Do it…..
Sing the following melodies below. Tell whether the notes move in
steps, skip, or are repeated.

The Major Scales and Their Key

Signatures

4
Composers make music by combining notes in a scale. A scale is a series of tones
arranged from lowest to highest or from highest to lowest. The most common scale in
music is called the diatonic scale. It is composed of eight notes arranged in succession
in an ascending or descending manner. It is characterized by a pattern of fixed
intervals of whole steps (WS) and half steps (HS). The two kinds of diatonic scale in
music is the major and minor scale. The basic difference is seen and heard in the
interval pattern of whole steps and half steps.
In this lesson, you will particularly study about the major scales and their key
signatures.

What ‘s New

SCALE
A series of notes arranged in an ascending or descending manner is a
scale. This is where simple or complicated melodies are formed. Look at the example
below. What do you notice about the first and the last note of each scale? Sing the so-
fa syllables of the scale below

5
Ascending scale

Descending scale

The scale you have sung is written in the key of C. It is derived from its home
tone or the beginning or ending key which is C

In order to know how to construct a major scale and fully understand the
relationship of the keys on the scale and on the piano, it is important to be familiar with
the whole and half step intervals. A half step is the shortest distance between two
notes and a whole step is composed of two half steps.

6
 What is it

Lesson

1 C MAJOR SCALE
A major scale follows s specific interval pattern of WS-WS-HS-WS-WS-
WS-HS. This pattern brings out a bright sounding melody. Below is the C
Major scale.
Study how it is constructed using the WS-WS-HS-WS-WS-WS-HS interval
pattern on the staff and on the keyboard.

Notice that the first note C or do has the same name as the eight note C or
do. All the notes from the first note C to the eight note C make an octave
meaning “eight.” Since the first note of the scale is C, the scale is named C
scale. The name of the scale is derived from its first note and it is called
tonic
A step is a small distance (or interval ) between two notes. A step can either
be a half step (HS) or a whole step(WS)
A half step (HS) is a distance between two notes with a key or a note in-
between.
A whole step (WS) is a distance between two notes without a key or a note
in-between.
Therefore, two half steps is actually one whole step
Look at the keyboard shown below. The step from C to D is a whole
step since there is a key between them. D to E is also whole step. E to F is a
half-step since there is no key in between the keys or notes; the same with B
to C. But what is the black key in between two notes?
The black key can either be a sharp (#) or a flat (b). A sharp raises a
note by a semitone or a half note, while a flat lowers the note by a half note.
A natural sign (η) cancels the effect of a sharp or a flat.

7
 Therefore, the black key on the right of a given note is a sharp of that
note, whereas the black key on the left of a given note is the flat of that note.

Twinkle twinkle little star

Challenge Yourself Can you tell in what key the song “ twinkle twinkle little star”
is played? What is the feeling when you are singing song in
major scale?

THINK

❖ C major ( or the key of C) is a major scale based on C, with the

pitches C, D, E, F, G, A, and B. C major is one of the most

8
 common key signature used in music. Its key signature has no
flat and no sharps. Its relative minor is A minor and its
parallel minor is C minor.
❖ On the piano, the C major scale can be played by playing the
white keys starting on C which makes the scale visually more
approachable

Lesson

2 F MAJOR
The musical symbol found at the beginning of the staff after the clef is called the
flat sign.
The flat sign shows the place of Fa on the staff and shows the places of the other
pitches too.

Above are the pitches written on the staff using one flat as the key. That flat
sign is always placed on the B line at the beginning of the staff. It is called
the key signature. That one flat key tells us that Do is found on the F line
or F space and gives us the key of F major.

9
 This song “ Michael, Row the Boat Ashore” is written in the key of F major
because Do which is the home tone is found on the F space.
Look at the staff again; notice that there is a flat sign on the B line or B space of
the staff which affects all the notes on the B line or B space. The B line or B space is
now name as B b. The flat sign does not only give the key, but it is also lowers the B
by a half step. B is lowered to make an interval of a half step to A which corresponds
to MI and FA

Challenge Yourself Write T if the statement is true and F if false

1. The flat sign lowers the pitch by a whole step.
2. The key of one flat gives the key of F major.
3. The flat sign shows the place of La on the staff.
4. The song “ Michael, Row the Boat Ashore” is in the major mode.
5. The flat sign is always place on the B line at the beginning of
the staff.

THINK ❖ F major (or the key of F) is a major scale based on F, with the pitches
F, G, A, Bb, C, D and E. Its key signature has one flat: Bb . Its relative
minor is D minor and its parallel minor is F minor

Lesson

3 G MAJOR SCALE

10
 Other major scales use sharps and flat to maintain the correct interval pattern
of WS-WS-HS-WS-WS-WS-HS. Remember that a sharp ( # ) raises a note by a half
step and a flat ( b ) lowers a note by a half step. Notice how the G Major scale uses
the sharp(#) in order to maintain the correct interval pattern of a Major scale.

Identify which note is sharped in the G major scale.

The first note or tonic is G and it follows the pattern of whole and half steps or a
major scale. Thus, this is the G major scale.

Examine

The musical symbol found at the beginning of the staff the clef in both songs
learned is called the sharp sign. The sharp sign shows the place of TI on the staff and
shows the places of the other pitches too. The sharp sign always placed on the F line

11
 at the beginning of the staff. The sharp-sign found at the beginning of the staff is called
the key signature. This sharp gives us the key of G Major, which means that the pitch
DO is on the G line or space of the staff.
This song “Pamulinawen” is written in the key of G major because DO which is home
tone is found on the G line or G space. The sharp sign does not only give also raises
the F by a half step is raised to make an interval of a half step to G which correspond
to TI and DO in the major scale.

Challenge Yourself Analyse the key of the song “ Pamulinawen” by answering

the questions below:

➢ What is the home tone of the song?

➢ Is the song in major or minor mode?
➢ What line or space is the home tone located?
➢ What is the name of the key of the song?
THINK

❖
❖ G major (or the key of G) is a major scale based on G, with the
pitches G, A,B, C, D, E, and F#. Its key signature has one sharp,
F#. Its relative minor is E minor and its parallel minor is G minor.

What’s More

Construct the following scales. Be sure to use s sharp beside the note that needs
it. The first and last are done for you. Use a dummy keyboard to help you follow the
correct interval pattern of a major scale.

12
 What I Have Learned

❖ A musical scale is a series of pitches arranged in an ascending or

descending manner.
❖ A half step is the shortest distance between two notes while a whole
step is composed of two half steps.
❖ A major scale follows a specific interval pattern of WS-WS-HS-WS-WS-
WS-HS.
❖ The group of sharps or flats arranged before the time signature are
called key signatures.

What I Can Do

Practice constructing other major scales. Remember to follow the correct

interval pattern.

Assessment

❖ Create a simple melody of your own using any major key. Then,
performs your composition by singing its so-fa
syllable or playing it on the keyboard or piano.
