Major Scales Quiz

Welcome to the quiz on Major Scales. A couple notes before you start:

1. You can use your scale cheat sheet download during this entire quiz. It will take you a while to memorize all the scales. Right now, we just want to get a feel for the shape of each scale and how many black notes there are in each scale. Download it here: Major Scales Cheat Sheet

2. When a question asks which scale has a certain number of black notes, it's referring to the number of “different” black notes. So for example, the scale B Flat has 2 black notes: B Flat and E Flat. The other B Flat at the top of the scale doesn't count because we already counted the B Flat at the bottom of the scale.

 

Best of luck!
