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.
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.
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...

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.
The whole tone scale is made up of exactly what it sounds like, a series of notes each a whole tone away from the other. Starting on F, a whole tone scale would consist of (1)F (2)G (3)A (4)B (5)C#/Db (6)D#/Eb, which would then finish with (7)F, right back where it started. So the sixth note (D#/Eb) is the interval of a minor 7th, or 10 semitones, away.
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.
It is known as an Octave (a musical scale of eight notes).
I think you mean E if you are talking about a whole tone scale. There are many musical scales!
The whole tone scale only uses full tones, therefore there are six notes per octave. Theoretically could can start a whole tone scale on any note but there are only 2 distinct scales. Whole tone scale starting on C: C, D, E, Gb, Ab, Bb, C Whole tone scale starting on Db: Db, Eb, F, G, A, B, Db Starting a whole tone scale on any of the other notes would merely be inversions of the scales mentioned above.
What ever note that is a major second interval below the starting note of the scale.
There are eight notes (steps) in a major musical scale. If whole steps are tones and half steps are semitones, then the order is tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone, semitone.
You can start the whole tone scale on any note. Say you start on C, then it would be C, D, E, F#, G#, A#, C Those are six different notes that compose one whole tone scale. If you start on C#, then it would be C#, D#, F, G, A, B Those are the other six notes that make up the other whole tone scale. You can start a whole tone scale on any note.

"A" is a musical note. A tone above "A" would be the note "B."
To determine what the seventh note (leading note) is in a minor scale, you need to determine which minor scale you are playing. The seventh note of a natural minor scale, you take the note which is a whole tone (2 notes) below your tonic (the note which is the name of your scale). Example: In A natural minor scale the leading note is G. The seventh note of a harmonic minor scale is a semitone (1 note) below your tonic note. Ex: In E harmonic minor scale, the leading note is D sharp. The seventh note of a melodic minor scale (ascending) will be a semitone below your tonic note, like your harmonic minor scale. Descending the melodic minor scale reverts to its natural state, therefore your seventh note will be a whole tone below your tonic.
The whole tone scale only uses full tones, therefore there are six notes per octave. Theoretically could can start a whole tone scale on any note but there are only 2 distinct scales. Whole tone scale starting on C: C, D, E, Gb, Ab, Bb, C Whole tone scale starting on Db: Db, Eb, F, G, A, B, Db Starting a whole tone scale on any of the other notes would merely be inversions of the scales mentioned above.
Yes it uses the whole tone scale as there are no semitones in the melody. You are right.
In music, "do re me" are notes which are part of a solfage. Solfage is a method used to remember the tone and position of a note on the musical scale.
