About scales
A scale is a set of notes spaced by a fixed pattern of intervals. The same pattern starting on a different root gives a different key. This tool covers the major scale, the three minor scales, all seven modes, the major and minor pentatonics, and the blues scale.
How to use it
- Choose a root note and a scale type — the notes appear and highlight on the keyboard.
- The root is shown in solid black; other scale tones are tinted.
- Press Play scale to hear it ascend, or click individual keys.
