D# Piano Scales

All D# piano scales — click any card for full diagrams, fingerings, audio, and notation.

D♯ is the black key above D. Written out as a major key it would need double sharps, so its chords and scales are almost always spelled as the enharmonic E♭ in practice; on the keys the two are identical. 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.
