Using C harmonic minor as an example, the notes are C D Eb F G Ab B C. The half steps are between D and Eb, G and Ab, and B and C. Going by scale degrees, the half steps are between the 2nd and 3rd, the 5th and 6th, and the 7th and octave.

Half steps between scale degrees 2 and 3 5 and 6 7 and 8?
The type of scale that has half steps between those scale degrees is a harmonic minor scale.
How many half steps does a minor scale have?
two in natural minor, three in harmonic minor, and two in melodic minor going up and down.
What are the minor scale variations?
pure (natural), harmonic, and melodic pure minor-none of the scale degrees are altered harmonic minor-7th scale degree raised a half step melodic minor- 6th and 7th scale degrees raised ascending and pure minor descending
What two intervals are used to build major and minor scales?
The two intervals used to build major and minor scales are half steps and whole steps (also called minor seconds and major seconds). In the harmonic minor scale, an augmented second is used between scale degrees 6 and 7.
What is the relative harmonic minor scale of C Major?
"That would be A minor. Go a minor third below the tonic of the major scale to find the relative minor." Technically, there is no relative harmonic major to the key of C Major. The relative minor scale of C Major would the natural minor scale of A. A harmonic minor scale raises the 7th note of the scale a half step, giving us G#, which is not in the key of C Major.

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.

What are the half steps in a natural minor scale?
The semitones (half steps) in a natural minor scale are between the 2nd and 3rd and the 5th and 6th notes.
How many half steps will you find in a harmonic minor scale?
3. There's one between scale degrees 2 and 3, one between 5 and 6, and one between the leading tone and tonic.
How is a minor scale formed?
To turn a major scale to natural minor, lower the third, sixth, and seventh scale tones a half step. To create a natural minor scale from scratch, it is: whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step. A harmonic minor scale has a seventh raised by a half step above a natural minor scale. A melodic minor scale has a sixth and a seventh raised by a half step above a natural minor scale.
Why does harmonic minor scale sound so dark?
The harmonic minor scale is a minor scale with a major 7th (1 2 b3 4 5 b6 7). This creates a 3 half-step gap between the minor 6th and major 7th, resulting in a dark, exotic sound.
