Step 1
Start the first whole-tone scale on the C. This whole-tone scale is the most common and was used by such composers as Debussy.
-
Step 2
Move up the octave to play the D and E. These two tones are easily performed on any instrument whether, string, brass or woodwind.
-
Step 3
Finish playing the whole tone scale by playing the following three sharps: F sharp, G sharp and A sharp.
-
Step 4
Perform the second whole tone scale by starting on the D flat and E flat. The two flats taken together equal two whole tones.

Step 5
Follow the two flatted tones by playing the F, G, A and B. These six notes played together produce the second whole-tone scale. Both of these whole-tone scales are popular with impressionistic composers.
