What is the pattern of the major scale steps w equals whole step h equals half step

1 answer

The pattern of steps in a major scale is as follows:

  • Whole step (W)
  • Whole step (W)
  • Half step (H)
  • Whole step (W)
  • Whole step (W)
  • Whole step (W)
  • Half step (H)

In summary, the pattern is: W-W-H-W-W-W-H.

For example, if you take the C major scale, it would be:

  • C to D (W)
  • D to E (W)
  • E to F (H)
  • F to G (W)
  • G to A (W)
  • A to B (W)
  • B to C (H)

This defines the structure of the major scale starting from any root note.
