Answer 1

The step pattern for a minor scale is:

W-H-W-W-H-W-W

In this pattern:

• W stands for a whole step (two half steps)
• H stands for a half step (one semitone)

This pattern is specifically for the natural minor scale.

To clarify the patterns you've listed:

1. W-H-W-W-H-W-W - This is the pattern for the natural minor scale.
2. H-H-W-W-W-H-W - This does not correspond to a standard scale.
3. W-W-H-H-W-W-W - This does not correspond to a standard scale.
4. W-H-H-W-W-H-W - This corresponds to the melodic minor scale when ascending.
