In music, the Arabic scale is arrived at by either:
- Raising the seventh of the Jewish scale
- Raising the seventh and third of the Phrygian mode
- Lowering the sixth and second of a major scale
Series of intervals:
- H -3 H W H -3 H
- H = Half step
- W = Whole step
- -3 = Minor third or 3 Half steps
As you can see, the Arabic scale is symmetrical.
