Question

What is the missing interval in the pattern for a major scale?
W W H W___ W H
W
H
rest
WW

Answer 1

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.
