Every scale-degree relates to one another by specific intervals.
In the picture below, the numbered scale-degrees show the most common interval pattern, called the MAJOR SCALE
Scales have specifically spaced interval steps.
Areas shaded Yellow represent Whole Steps.
Areas shaded Red represent Half Steps.
Before we learn more about octave scales and study scale-degrees in detail, Scroll will teach us about interval proportions and sound theories.
You will then be ready to build scales!
