WW

1 answer

In the pattern for a major scale, the interval sequence is:

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

The pattern you provided seems to partially repeat the major scale layout, but you are looking for the missing interval after "W___ W H".

The complete pattern for a major scale is typically represented as:

W W H W W W H

Based on what you have:

  • W
  • W
  • H
  • W (missing)
  • W
  • H

The missing interval is another whole step (W).

So the complete series would be:

W W H W W H (missing interval) W H.

Thus, the missing interval is W.
