A Major
A · B · C♯ · D · E · F♯ · G♯
The major scale is the reference point all other scales are described against, and A Major supplies the seven notes that define the key of A. Bright, resolved, and endlessly familiar, it underpins the overwhelming majority of Western melody, from folk songs to pop choruses. Learn this one properly and every mode becomes a small variation on it.
