There is one pitch between each note except for B to C and F# to G. The pitches these notes represent, in this order, are collectively called a "G Major Scale". E is the third note in the scale, F is the fourth B is the 7th note in the scale and C is the Eighth. There is one pitch between each note except for E to F and B to C. On a piano keyboard, all of the pitches are performed with ivory keys. The pitches these notes represent, in this order, are collectively called a "C Major Scale". Major Scales These notes are not shown as intervals (it would be difficult to read all of these notes if they were placed one above the other), However the relationship between each note is important. Again, each vertical column contains intervals with same relationship. Because these staves have a Brace (connected together with a line) they are to be performed at the same time. Here are more examples, with larger intervals. G# (or Ab) and A are the two pitches between G and Bbĭ# (or Eb) is the only pitch between D and Eį and F# (or Gb) are the two pitches between E and Gī and C are the two pitches between Bb and Db G# (or Ab) is the only pitch between G and A

Each vertical column contains intervals with same relationship. Shown in these examples are two notes appearing at the same point in time (called and interval). "C" has exactly the same relationship to the pitch just above it, "C#" (or "Db"), an ebony key on the piano keyboard, as "C#" has to the next pitch, "D".

All musical pitches have the same "distance" to next closest pitch.
