A major
scale, or
ionian mode, is one of the
diatonic scales. It is a series of eight
notes (7 different) that follow a definite pattern of
whole steps and
half steps. Half steps appear only between scale steps 3-4 and 7-8. Every major scale has the same arrangement of whole steps and half steps. The last note in each major scale is the same note as the first only it is an
octave higher.
