The chromatic scale
The major scale is made of whole and half steps. WWHWWWH
It is a scale made up exclusively of whole steps, as distinct from the standard western diatonic scale that is built upon the structure whole-whole-half-whole-whole-whole-half. For example, starting at E flat, the notes of a whole tone scale would be E flat, F, G, A, B, D flat.
There are 7 notes in a heptatonic scale. Heptatonic scales are the major and all minor scales including the 7 diatonic scales which are those consisting of 5 whole steps and 2 half steps separated by either 2 or 3 whole steps.
