C major scale

Take the key of C as an example.

1. The first note is C.
2. A whole step from C takes us to D.
3. Another whole step takes us to E.
4. A half step takes us to F.
5. One whole step higher is G.
6. Another whole step higher is A.
7. Another whole step take us to B.
8. And finally, a half step higher than B is C.

The C major key signature has no sharps and no flats.
