What notes make up the most stable in the major scale?

I need to know... NOW!What notes make up the most stable in the major scale?
C Major scale (for C instruments) C D E F G A B CWhat notes make up the most stable in the major scale?
Not sure what you mean by stable. But go with the chord tones. The 1,3,5 of the scale. For example, in a C major scale, it's the C, E, %26amp; G that make up the chord. Go the piano and play C, E, %26amp; G together and you'll see what I mean. That clearly defines it as a major chord. If you want to jazz it up a bit, add the 7th (in this case, B). Play all four of those notes together and you'll hear it's a bit hipper. Those are the most important notes, and altering the 7th, 3rd, or the 5th will change the chord from major, to dominant, minor, diminished -- depending on what you do.
