Excerpt from Elson's Pocket Music Dictionary: The Important Terms Used in Music

Eighth Eighth Sixteenth Sixteenth Note Rest Rest Thirty Thirty second second Note Rest the scale.

The Scale (or ladder) is a direct succession of notes or tones. The difference between these consecutive notes is measured by Steps and Half-steps. Scales are classified as Major, Minor, Chromatic or Whole tone according to their content of Steps and Half steps. There are two forms of the Minor Scale in common use, called Harmonic and Melodic; in the latter, the notes chromatically raised in ascent are restored to their original pitch in descent.
