Major scales in standard musical notation (2006)
(thelemmy.club)
The major scale is a sequence of patterns that provide a distinct sound to the listeners ear. This scale is common in Western tonality and is very important in Classical tradition. The major scale is comprised of certain steps - being Whole-Whole-Half-Whole-Whole-Whole-Half. A whole step is comprised of two semi tones, and a half step is comprised of one semi tone. This formula can be applied on any starting note, and should have 8 notes ending on the same note.

Very weird choice of only 8 scales, since there are 12 major scales. Seems like you skipped all the scales that have flats in the key signature instead of sharps...F major being the most obvious skip (which has a Bb in the key signature). I play horns, and horn players tend to be able to read in keys with flats easier than keys with sharps. If I'm playing in D#/Eb or G#/Ab...i'll always write it out as Eb or Ab.
