What is the 6th note in the whole tone musical scale?

Answer 1

It depends on what you choose at the root note or the tonic of the scale. If you choose C for example, the scale is C-D-E♭-F-G-A♭-B♭ and A is the sixth note. Whereas if you choose A as the tonic, the scale is A-B-C#-D-E-F#-G# and F# is the sixth note.

If you're assigning each note a syllable, the sixth note is la.

Answer 2

The sixth note in te scale of music is called a 'submediant'.

If you were starting on a middle C then the sixth note would be an A.

Depending on what key you were in, here are the note names:

1st note of the key - Tonic
2nd - Super tonic
3rd - Mediant
4th - Subdominant
5th - Dominant
6th - Submediant
7th - Leading tone
8th -Tonic

In Solfege, a kind of relative scale used mostly in vocal settings, the notes are the familiar do re mi fa sol la ti (or si) do.

Answer 3

It depends on the key. If you want to use the key of C (which is easy because it has no sharps or flats [the black keys on a piano]), start at the C key and count it as number one and continue counting up to the right, counting only the white keys up to 6: D, E, F, G, A.

A is the 6th note of the major scale in the key of C.

Any key other than C includes accidentals (sharps or flats- which is what those black keys are) so, depending on the key, you will have to include some of the black keys.

Starting from C with no accidentals reveals how may half steps or whole steps there are in a major scale. A C scale on a keyboard is like a cheat sheet for Music Theory- it shows you the intervals of a major scale in steps: whole whole half whole whole whole half. (Half step is going to the next adjacent key without skipping any, a whole step is 2 half steps- skipping over one key).

Once you go to any key other than C (so your starting note is not C) then you have to adjust for the fact that the keys are "in the wrong place" by including the black keys in some places.

For example, if you started your scale on the G key and counted whole whole half whole whole whole half you would find that you would not land on the F key for number 7, you would land on the F# (sharp) key. That is why the key of G has one sharp. etc...

Search the term "key signatures".

In general terms, the 6th degree of the scale is the solfege note "la" (from do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do) and is called the Submediant of the scale. It is a somewhat passive note that has a tendency to resolve down to the Dominant or continue up to the Tonic, however, it is the Tonic of the relative minor and can be heard as a deceptive resolution.
