A common scale in music is the major scale, which consists of seven notes and follows a specific pattern of whole and half steps: whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half. This scale is foundational in Western music and is often used to create melodies and harmonies. The major scale is characterized by its bright and uplifting sound, making it a popular choice in many genres. An example of a major scale is the C major scale, which includes the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, and B.
A major scale has 8 notes, including the second use of the tonic.
