What ever note that is a major second interval below the starting note of the scale.
To turn a major scale to natural minor, lower the third, sixth, and seventh scale tones a half step. To create a natural minor scale from scratch, it is: whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step. A harmonic minor scale has a seventh raised by a half step above a natural minor scale. A melodic minor scale has a sixth and a seventh raised by a half step above a natural minor scale.
The whole tone scale is made up of exactly what it sounds like, a series of notes each a whole tone away from the other. Starting on F, a whole tone scale would consist of (1)F (2)G (3)A (4)B (5)C#/Db (6)D#/Eb, which would then finish with (7)F, right back where it started. So the sixth note (D#/Eb) is the interval of a minor 7th, or 10 semitones, away.
In a harmonic minor scale, the sixth of the scale is raised, so the step and a half is found between the fifth and sixth of the harmonic minor scale because normally, there is a whole step between the fifth and sixth of a minor scale. Raising the sixth adds another half step, so you get the step and a half.
One whole step.
It is a scale made up exclusively of whole steps, as distinct from the standard western diatonic scale that is built upon the structure whole-whole-half-whole-whole-whole-half. For example, starting at E flat, the notes of a whole tone scale would be E flat, F, G, A, B, D flat.
I think you mean E if you are talking about a whole tone scale. There are many musical scales!
It depends on what you choose at the root note or the tonic of the scale. If you choose C for example, the scale is C-D-E♭-F-G-A♭-B♭ and A is the sixth note. Whereas if you choose A as the tonic, the scale is A-B-C#-D-E-F#-G# and F# is the sixth note. If you're assigning each note a syllable, the sixth note is la.
In Western music, whole-, half-, quarter-, and eighth-rests are the most common.
A seminote, frequently called a semitone is the equivalent of a half-step in a musical scale. There are six whole tones, or steps in every scale, and consequently, 12 half tones/steps.
A major scale is represented with intervals of whole steps between each note except for mi & fa, and ti & do.
11 of them.
There are eight notes (steps) in a major musical scale. If whole steps are tones and half steps are semitones, then the order is tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone, semitone.
