The 12 major scales are part of Music Theory in general and are not specific to individual instruments. There are some instruments that produce different pitches when the same written note is played by the instrument and a piano, but this has to do with ease of notation because of the instrument's range of pitch rather than anything fundamentally different about music theory. Just go up a chromatic scale for the 12 different notes that can be the tonic of a scale: C, C sharp = D flat, D, E flat, E, F, F sharp = G flat, G, A flat, A, B flat, B. Scales can be constructed with D sharp, G sharp, or A sharp as the tonic, but they require double-sharps, and the flat equivalent is much easier.

The key is to know what key or keys the song is in. For example: the song is in C .. you can play anything you want and then go back to C to let the audience know you know where HOME is.
C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B.
Since E# = F natural, there is no extra "E#" but instead F natural, which would have been there anyways. Same for B# and C.
There are 7 different white-key scales and 5 black-key scales, totaling 12 scales.
Each of those 12 different notes on the keyboard have 4 different types of scales, of which one of each is the major scale.

How do you convert piano scales to saxophone?
The notes for scales on the piano are the exact same notes for corresponding scales on the saxophone. However, as the alto saxophone is in Eb and the tenor saxophone is in Bb, you will have to account for these differences by raising the piano notes by a minor third or lowering the piano notes by a whole step, respectively.

How many scales are there in music?
There are thousands of different scales worldwide, so really no one knows, but when talking of major scales, there are twelve (three of which go be two names).The major scales are (in chromatic order):C major, C♯/Db major, D major, Eb major, E major, F major, F♯/Gb major, G major, Ab major, A major, Bb major, and finally B/Cb major.The scales which are italicised are the 'enharmonic equivelent' scales, meaning that they are one scale going by two different names. C♯ and Db are the same key on the piano, so are F♯/Gb and B/Cb.

How many major scales are there?
There are 7 white notes, and 5 black notes on the piano, so all together you have 12 different notes, and therefore, 12 different sounding major scales.If we include the three enharmonic ones - that makes fifteen key signatures and, therefore, fifteen major scales in total.They are, from the flattest key (the one with the most amount of flats) to the sharpest key, in order: Cb, Gb, Db, Ab, Eb, Bb, F, C, G, D, A, E, B, F# and C#. These are all the "real keys".Now, if you want to get theory crazy - you can look at the "imaginary scales" as well - which are scales you can figure out theoretically, but you wouldn't use them for practical reasons. This would include keys like D# Major (9 sharps) and Gbb Major (13 flats), in which case there would be an additional 20 major scales (one for every note and its enharmonic equivalent) as well, making a total of 35 scales (for the 15 real key signatures and the 20 imaginary keys).
