What is the whole W and half h step pattern for a major scale?
All Major scales follow this exact pattern: W W H W W W H (whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half). The distance between the first two notes in a Major scale is a whole step. The distance between the 3rd and 4th notes and the 7th and 8th notes are half steps.
What is the correct formula of half steps and whole steps in a major scale?
The major scale is constructed using whole and half-steps. A whole step = 2 half-steps, and a half step is simply the distance between 2 adjacent notes. Use the following diagram to help you see that the distance between d and d# is a half-step and the distance between eb (the same note as d#) and f is a whole-step.
Which scale uses the following pattern of half steps and whole steps w h/w w h/w h h?
major scale
What are intervals in a scale?
Intervals are the building blocks of scales, chords (or harmonies), and melodies. Intervals are a measurement between two pitches, either vertically or horizontally. When measuring vertically, we refer to harmonic intervals because the two notes sound simultaneously.
What is the interval between A and B flat?
a second
What is the interval between A and C?
Major intervals can be augmented by adding a half step. Major intervals can be augmented by adding a semitone. For example, since C to A is a major sixth (9 half steps), C to A# is an augmented sixth (10 half steps). For example, since C to A is a major sixth (9 semitones), C to A# is an augmented sixth (10 semitones).
What interval is F to G sharp?
Having established that the major 7th interval of the G# major scale is note F##, this step will explore the other 7th intervals next this note.
What interval is G sharp to D?
5th intervals above note G-sharp
| Short | Medium | Intervals ‘above’ statement |
|---|---|---|
| d5 | dim5 | The G# to D interval is diminished 5th |
| P5 | perf5 | The G# to D# interval is perfect 5th |
| A5 | aug5 | The G# to D## interval is augmented 5th |
