1. c major

   C Major is a musical key in Western music that is based on the note of C, with the pitches C, D, E, F, G, A, and B. It is the only major key that does not contain any sharps or flats. In the key of C Major, C is the tonic note and the dominant (5th note) is G. This key is often considered one of the most common and fundamental keys in music, particularly for piano, as all the notes are white keys. The C Major scale is often the first one taught to beginners in most instruments.

1. C major

   The C major scale consists of the pitches C, D, E, F, G, A, and B. Its key signature has no flats/sharps. Its relative minor is A minor, and its parallel minor is C minor. C major is one of the most common key signatures used in music. Most transposing instruments playing in their home key are notated in C major; for example, a clarinet in B-flat sounding a B-flat major scale is notated as playing a C major scale. The white keys of the piano correspond to the C major scale. Among brass instruments, the more common trumpet is the trumpet in C, and the contra-bass tuba is in C. A harp tuned to C major has all of its pedals in the middle position. C major is often thought of as the simplest key, due to its lack of sharps or flats, and beginning piano students' first pieces are usually simple ones in this key; the first scales and arpeggios that students learn are also usually C major. However, going against this common practice, the Polish composer Frédéric Chopin regarded this scale as the most difficult to play with complete evenness, and he tended to give it last to his students. He regarded B major as the easiest scale to play on the piano, because the position of the black and white notes best fit the natural positions of the fingers, and so he often had students start with this scale. A C major scale lacks black keys and thus does not fit the natural positions of the fingers well.
