+Let's first look at all 12 notes:
+
+```
+A - A#(or Bb) - B - C - C#(or Db) - D - D#(or Eb) - E - F - F#(or Gb) - G - G#(or Ab) - A
+```
+Note : `#` is pronounced as Sharp and `b` as Flat. For example: A# is `A Sharp` and Bb is `B flat`. 
+
+### Formula
+Here's the formula to construct a major scale.
+```
+Formula : W, W, H, W, W, W, H 
+W means Whole step (For example, from A to B, it is a whole step as it has two hops)
+H means Half step (For example, from A to A#, it is a half step as it has one hop)
+```
+
+Here's a trick to remember this:
+`Women Wearing Hats Walked With Wonderful Heels`
+
+### Constructing major scales
+
+A major
+
+```
+A --- B --- C# --- D --- E --- F# --- G# --- A
+   W     W      H     W     W      W      H
+```
+
+
+B major
+```
+B --- C# --- D# --- E --- F# --- G# --- A# --- B
+   W      W      H     W      W      W      H
+```
+
+C major
+```
+C --- D --- E --- F --- G --- A --- B --- C
+   W     W     H     W     W     W     H
+```
+
+... and it goes on for all 12 notes. 
+
+
+### Basic major scales
+* A major scale: `A – B – C# – D – E – F# – G# – A`
+* Bb major scale: `Bb – C – D – Eb – F – G – A – Bb`
+* B major scale: `B – C# – D# – E – F# – G# – A# – B`
+* C major scale: `C – D – E – F – G – A – B – C`
+* C# major scale: `C# – D# – E# (=F) – F# – G# – A# – B# (=C) – C#`
+* Db major scale: `Db – Eb – F – Gb – Ab – Bb – C – Db`
+* D major scale: `D – E – F# – G – A – B – C# – D`
+* Eb major scale: `Eb – F – G – Ab – Bb – C – D – Eb`
+* E major scale: `E – F# – G# – A – B – C# – D# – E`
+* F major scale: `F – G – A – Bb – C – D – E – F`
+* F# major scale: `F# – G# – A# – B – C# – D# – E# (=F) – F#`
+* Gb major scale: `Gb – Ab – Bb – Cb (=B) – Db – Eb – F – Gb`
+* G major scale: `G – A – B – C – D – E – F# – G`
+* Ab major scale: `Ab – Bb – C – Db – Eb – F – G – Ab`
+
+
+### Interesting observations
+
+[1] `Keep it simple` : Make sure to use the notations in such a way that the character is not repeated for simplicity.
+
+For example for C# Major:
+`C# – D# – E# (=F) – F# – G# – A# – B# (=C) – C#`
+
+The order (C# – D# – E# – F# – G# – A# – C – C#) can be avoided as C is repeated in the form of C and C#. Similarly the order, (C# – D# – F – F# – G# – A# – B# – C#) can be avoided as F is repeated in form of F and F#.
+
+[2] `Using sharp or flat scale` : If you cannot do [1] on a note, use the # (sharp) or b (flat) versions of the note to form the scale. 
+
+For example for D#, the order is:
+(D# – F – G – G# – A# – C – D – D#)
+This is not simple to use and this cannot be converted like mentioned in [1].
+Hence you can use Eb (flat) which is same as D#. 
+
+`Eb – F – G – Ab – Bb – C – D – Eb`
