It's one half-step, or one semitone.

What are the music notes in A minor harmonic?
The A harmonic minor scale uses 1 sharp on the seventh degree, that would be a G♯, and you play the G♯ both when ascending and descending. The sequence of tones and semitones in a harmonic minor scale are as follows: Tone Semitone Tone Tone Semitone, Tone-and a half, Semitone. In A minot this is A (up a tone), B (up a semitone), C (up a tone), D (up a tone), E (up a semitone), F (up a tone-and-a-half), G♯ (up a semitone), A.
Would D and C be a semitone?
C-sharp to D, or C to D-flat would be a semitone.
What determines the notes of a D minor scale?
All harmonic minor scales have the pattern of tone-semitone-tone-tone-semitone-tone-tone (raised 7th)-semitone. Therefore, D harmonic minor has the notes of D, E, F, G, A, B flat, C# (raised 7th), D.
What not is a semitone about C?
C sharp/D flat
What note is a semitone above d?
D sharp and E flat
How are major scales made?
Tone Tone Semitone Tone Tone Tone Semitone, is always the gap between notes in any major scale, which is why most scales need sharps or flats. For example, C major is: C - up a tone - D - up a tone - E - up a semitone - F - up a tone - G - up a tone - A - up a tone - B - up a semitone - C.
What are Tones and semitone?
Tone and semitone are two words to describe differences in pitch between two notes. A semitone is the difference between F and F#, that is, only a bit. A tone is the difference between F and G, twice as much as a semitone.
What note is a semitone higher than B?
It would be a sharp/flat. Like A would be A#/Bb
What are the letter names of the pair of notes which are a semitone apart in the major scale of F?
F major is F - G - A - B flat - C - D - E the A and B flat are a semitone apart. (3rd and 4th) the E and F are a semitone apart (7th and 8th (1st)) It is the same in all major scales (3-4 and 7-8 are always a semitone apart)
In the C major scale what is C to D an example of?
This interval is an example of a tone (as opposed to a semitone).
What note is the leading tone in the d sharp scale?
The leading tone in any key is one half-step below the tonic. In the key of D-sharp, the leading tone is C-double-sharp (it can't be spelled as D-natural, because the letter D is already used for the tonic).
What is the function of sharp and flats?
Sharps are the note one semitone higher than a given natural note, for example, D-sharp is one semitone higherthan D.Flats are the note one semitone lower than a given natural note, so D-flat is one semitone lower than D.Natural signs get rid of a previous sharp or flat in the same bar, or raises or lowers a sharp or flat already included in the key signature - e.g. the F-sharp in G major.Sharps and flats can be modified further too - resulting in a double sharp or double flat - which means that any double sharp or double flat will be a whole tone higher or lower than a given natural note, for example, D double-sharp would be the same key as E and D double-flat would be the same as C. Again a natural sign would get rid of the double flat or sharp.Sometimes natural keys have to be named as either sharp or flat, e.g. in C-sharp minor the seventh degree is B, but we have to raise B to B-sharp to create a C-sharp harmonic minor scale, which uses a raised seventh. Now we could call the B-sharp 'C' but that would not be correct as we need to use all letter names in a diatonic scale, and technically the C is functioning as a raised B in the key or C-sharp minor.
