Major scale

Okay kiddo, do you like playing with musical toys like your xylophone or toy piano? Well, have you ever noticed that some songs sound happy and some sound sad? That's because of something called the major scale.

A major scale is a special set of notes that make songs sound happy and bright. It's like a special recipe for music! The major scale has seven notes and they all have special names like "doe", "re", "mi", "fa", "sol", "la", and "ti". We use these names to talk about music and sing along.

When a musician wants to play a happy and cheerful song, they use the major scale. They play the notes in order, starting with "doe" and ending on the next "doe" note. It's like walking up a musical ladder or playing a musical game of hopscotch! And because everyone knows the major scale, they can all play together and make beautiful music.

So next time you play with your musical toys, try singing a happy song using the major scale. You'll be amazed at how much fun it can be!
