W (whole step)
W (whole step)
H (half step)
The missing interval in the pattern for a major scale is a whole step.
The missing interval in the pattern for a major scale is a whole step (W).
The complete pattern for a major scale is:
Whole step (W)
Whole step (W)
Half step (H)
Whole step (W)
Whole step (W)
Whole step (W)
Half step (H)
To determine the missing interval in the pattern for a major scale, let's breakdown the given pattern:
W W H W __ W H
In this pattern, "W" represents a whole step (which is equivalent to 2 half steps), and "H" represents a half step.
To find the missing interval, we need to consider the pattern of whole and half steps that make up a major scale. The pattern for a major scale is as follows:
W - W - H - W - W - W - H
Comparing the given pattern with the pattern of a major scale, we can identify that the missing interval is a whole step (W). Therefore, the missing interval in the pattern for a major scale would be another whole step (W).
