How is the F Major scale different from the C Major and G Major scales?

The F Major scale differs from C Major and G Major scales by having one flat (B♭) in its key signature, while C Major has no sharps or flats, and G Major has one sharp (F#).

What are solfege syllables, and what do they represent in music?

Solfege syllables are a system of syllables (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do) used to represent the pitches of a scale. For example, C is Do, D is Re, E is Mi, and so on.

The key signature of F Major indicates that the B note is flat (B♭) in the scale unless a natural sign is written before it.

What is the difference between a whole step and a half step in music?

A whole step is a two-note interval on the keyboard (for example, from C to D), while a half step is a one-note interval (for example, from E to F).

In the context of major scales, what does a sharp sign indicate?

A sharp sign indicates that the note should be raised by a half step, as seen in the G Major scale where the F note is raised to F#.
