A diatonic scale is a musical scale that consists of seven notes, each separated by specific intervals. The most common diatonic scales are the major and minor scales. In a diatonic scale, the notes follow a pattern of whole and half steps, creating a series of pitches that sound harmonically related. For example, the C major scale is a diatonic scale with the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, and B. Another example is the A minor scale, which includes the notes A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Diatonic scales form the basis for much of Western music, providing the foundation for melodies and harmonies.
