The Major Scale Formula

To create any major scale, you use the major scale formula. This formula is Whole Whole Half Whole Whole Whole Half; commonly seen as WWHWWWH. This tells you what interval to make from note to note as you move up the scale.

For example, from the first note to the second, you go a whole step (WWHWWWH). From the second to the third, you go a whole step (WWHWWWH). From the third to the fourth you go a half step (WWHWWWH). And so on, until you end at the root note.
