D Piano Scales
All D piano scales — click any card for full diagrams, fingerings, audio, and notation.
D sits a whole step above C. D major takes two sharps (F♯ and C♯) and rings brightly on stringed instruments, which is why so much fiddle, violin, and guitar music lives here. Every scale and mode starting on D is listed below — from the major and minor scales through the pentatonic, blues, modal, and exotic sets — each with diagrams, fingerings, audio, and notation.
