LEARNING KEY C

The mother of all scales is the Major scale. As I explained, music theory starts with the key of C, Key C is also a Perfect Key(Easiest to learn) (instead of A) so this is the note we will start with.

If you start on C (root note) and only play the naturals (the white keys) until reaching the next octave, you will arrive at the notes that make up the C major scale. So this would be:

C major = C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C

And on the piano keyboard:

KEY C 
1 Major (Do)
Root Position : C=C+E+G
1st Inversion  : C=G+C+E
2nd Inversion: C=E+G+C

2 minor (re)
Root Position : D=D+F+A
1st Inversion  : D=A+D+F
2nd Inversion:  D=F+A+D

3 minor (mi)
Root Position : E=E+G+B
1st Inversion  : E=B+E+G
2nd Inversion: E=G+B+E

4 Major (Fa)
Root Position : F=F+A+C
1st Inversion  : F=C+F+A
2nd Inversion: F=A+C+F

5 Major (So)
Root Position : G=G+B+D
1st Inversion  : G=D+G+B
2nd Inversion: G=B+D+G

6 minor (la)
Root Position : A=A+C+E
1st Inversion  : A=E+A+C
2nd Inversion: A=C+E+A

7 diminished (ti)
Root Position : B=B+D+F
1st Inversion  : B=F+B+D
2nd Inversion: B=D+F+B

8 Major (Do) Same as 1 Major 


Try this Progression on your own:
1, 4, 5

ie. 
             1
Root Position : C=C+E+G

             4
1st Inversion  : F=C+F+A

    











         5
1st Inversion: G=D+G+B
