The reason you're having a problem is that most violin teachers use the suzuki method to teach violin and they don't teach the names of the notes till you've mastered the feel and acquired the skill to produce a good sound.

However, understanding the notes is really simply:

The names of the notes used in all music are
A B C D E F G
There are only seven unique names

C Major is the naturally occuring major key. The notes are
C D E F G A B C

While there are only seven unique names, there are 12 unique tones in western music:
A - A# - B - C- C# - D - D# - E - F - F# - G - G#

Notice that there is a sharp (#) note between every letter of the scale except between B and C and E and F. Moving from B to C and from E to F are half steps while all the others are whole steps.

The major scale has these half steps between the 3rd and 4th and the 7th and 8th notes. The proper allignment of the half steps naturally occur in C Major. (E is the third note and F is the fourth note; B is the 7th note and C is the 8th note)

C - D - E F -G - A - B C

So when you start the scale on a different note such as G, A or D, you have to adjust the notes using sharps or flats in order to have the RELATIONSHIP of the notes be the sames

for example

G - A - B C - D - E - F# G

D - E - F# G - A - B - C# D

A - B - C# D - E - F# - G# A

F Major is a flat key and would look like this:

F - G- A Bb - C - D- E F


I've shown every thing in just one octave. To get two octave simply continue the sequence of letters from where it stopped: eg. C D E F G A B C . . . D E F G A B C.

Don't let understanding the notes throw off your study of mastering the sound of the violin. The sound is the most important thing. Some of the greatest musicians never learned to read or write music - like John Lennon, Wes Montgomery or Ella Fitzgerald.

It is all in practice!!! i had trouble actually remembering what sharps and flats where needed in what scale to when i first started (violin and piano) but you eventually get the hang of it. Write down the note names and play of that for a while and when you feel comfortable try them by memory. Good luck =D

c major- c d e f g a b c
g major- g a b c d e f# g
d major- d e f# g a b c#
a major- a b c# e f# g# a
f major two octaves- f g a b flat c d e f g a b flat c d e f

I'm having a little problem understanding your question.

Is it that you can play the scales you named, but you don't know which notes you're playing--you just know the fingering patterns?

OK, here you go:

C: c d e f g a b c
G: g a b c d e f# d
D: d e f# g a b c# d
A: a b c# d e f# g# a
F: f g a b-flat c d e f
