Best Answer

"Harmonic" is a type of minor scale. It includes the flat-third, flat-sixth and raised 7th. The raised 7th is really what gives it the "harmonic" feel. For example, C-D-Eflat-F-G-Aflat-Bnatural-C.

Where is the interval of a step and a half found in the harmonic minor scale?

In a harmonic minor scale, the sixth of the scale is raised, so the step and a half is found between the fifth and sixth of the harmonic minor scale because normally, there is a whole step between the fifth and sixth of a minor scale. Raising the sixth adds another half step, so you get the step and a half.
