The 7th note in the G flat major scale is F. Let's look at F on the staff here is F.
It is followed by going back to G flat pentatonic or the root which is repeated again but played
up higher. Let's now look how to play F on the flute. F is played with the 1st, 2nd,
3rd and thumb keys in the left hand. It is played with the 1st finger and the pinkie
on the right hand. Let's listen.
Let's review the fingerings 1,2,3, and thumb on the left hand. 1st and pinkie on the right
hand. Let's play from the beginning we have G flat up a whole step to a flat. A flat up
a whole step to B flat. B flat up a half step to C flat. C flat up a whole step to D flat.
D flat up a whole step to E flat and E flat up a whole step to F. Then returning back
to G flat or the root of the scale we change up to the same fingering as we had the lower
octave but now you play it higher. Let's listen to the scale.
F was our last note moving up to G flat the end note again this is how it sounds. The
G
flat major scale.
