Chromatic Scale in C Major - Music Theory Diagram #1942613 (License: Personal Use)

The image displays a standard five-line musical staff with a treble clef and a key signature of two sharps (F♯ and C♯), indicating the key of D major or B minor-but the scale shown is centered on C. It presents an ascending chromatic scale starting from D and continuing through all twelve semitones up to B, then descending back down, with each note labeled below the staff (D, E, F♯, G, A, B, C♯, D, etc.). The notation includes both ledger lines and standard staff positions to accommodate the full range.

This image is used in music education resources, theory textbooks, and online tutorials to teach chromatic scales, key signatures, and note naming. It supports learners practicing sight-reading, transposition, or understanding intervals within the Western diatonic system.
