and here the potential answer All right first things first
let's figure out what notes we're looking at here We
know we're in trouble class so that means we have
f g a and b flat If we take a
look at our options we know we can eliminate some
of these scales pretty quickly How can we do that
Two words magic chicken wait what No different to words
And there we go He signatures that's Better way know
that d major has two sharps in its key signature
f sharp and c sharp We also know b minor
is the relative minor of d major So it has
the same two sharps And if we take a look
back at the scale we can see it has an
f natural not in f sharp So naturally that means
we can eliminate both bnd now in a whole tone
scale each tone is related to the other by a
whole step and a quick glance at our scale shows
us that's Definitely not what we're dealing with here there's
only a half step between a and b flat which
means we can eliminate option c which leaves us with
the drum roll please Yeah f major f g a
and b flat are the first four notes in any
f major scale for the more f major has just
one flattened its key signature b flat another quick glance
at our scale and yet be flat is the last
note Looks like we can say is the correct answer
without running into any trouble Sorry we'll cut out the 00:01:40.929 --> [endTime] puns tone it down if you will
