How to Play an E Flat Major Scale

The major scale we would be learning how to play today is E flat major. Let's look at the notes in E flat major scale. The first note is E flat, then we have F, G, A flat, B flat, C, and D. You can see this fits the whole and half step patterns for major scale. We have a whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step. You can see in this key there are couple alterations to the notes we have E flat, A flat and B flat. These flats are accidentals which alters the note and makes it lower sounding then the natural. For example C with no alterations these accidentals are necessary in order for the note to complete the whole and the half step pattern which makes a sound in the major scale. Let's listen to what the major scale sounds like.
