diatonic
The major scale is made up five whole steps and how many half steps?
2 Half steps
What is the order of whole step and half steps for any major scale?
Whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half.WWHWWWH
What two intervals are used to build major and minor scales?
The two intervals used to build major and minor scales are half steps and whole steps (also called minor seconds and major seconds). In the harmonic minor scale, an augmented second is used between scale degrees 6 and 7.
How many half and whole steps does an augmented 2nd have?
It's the same as a minor 3rd, so it has three half steps, or one whole step and one half step

How many half steps is a major third made of?
Four half steps, or two whole steps.
Why do most scales have black notes?
I will assume you are talking about a major scale on a piano, and the scales other than C major. (Similar answer for minor scales other than A minor.)A major scale sounds the way it does because of the pattern of half-steps and whole-steps. A C scale has half-steps between E and F; and between B and C. But suppose you start on a different note--D, for example. D to E is a whole step (so far so good). for the second to third, you need another whold step, and that takes you to F sharp. After the third is a half-step, shich puts you on G natural, then whole to A, whole to B; but from the sixth to seventh, a whole step puts you an C sharp. Finally, the half-step back to the root puts you on D natural.

What is the correct pattern of whole steps and half steps to build a major scale?
Starting from the bottom: Whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, whole step, half step. The best way to think of it is all whole steps except for between the 3rd and 4th notes and the 7th and 8th notes.
Of what is the major scale composed?
Whole steps and half steps in a sequential order:WWHWWWH
How do you order the steps in any major diatonic scale?
Whole whole half whole whole whole half. These steps will create a major scale wherever you start on a piano, unless you start too high to get to the end of the sequence.
What Equals two half steps Music?
a whole step.
