E major

E major is a major scale based on E, consisting of the pitches E, F♯, G♯, A, B, C♯, and D♯. Its key signature has four sharps. Its relative minor is C-sharp minor and its parallel minor is E minor. Its enharmonic equivalent, F-flat major, has six flats and the double-flat B, which makes that key less convenient to use.

The E major scale is:

$\header { tagline = ##f } scale = elative f' { \key e \major \omit Score.TimeSignature e^"E natural major scale" fis gis a b cis dis e dis cis b a gis fis e2 \clef F \key e \major } \score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }$

Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary. The E harmonic major and melodic major scales are:

$\header { tagline = ##f } scale = elative f' { \key e \major \omit Score.TimeSignature e^"E harmonic major scale" fis gis a b c dis e dis c! b a gis fis e2 \clef F \key e \major } \score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }$

$\header { tagline = ##f } scale = elative f' { \key e \major \omit Score.TimeSignature e^"E melodic major scale" fis gis a b cis dis e d c b a gis fis e2 \clef F \key e \major } \score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }$
