A half step is a half step. It is also called a minor third. There is no "major" when it comes to half steps.
If you meant the half steps on white keys on a keyboard, then that would be B-C and E-F.
2 Half steps
The semitones (half steps) in a major scale are between the 3rd and 4th and the 7th and 8th notes.
Whole steps and half steps in a sequential order:WWHWWWH
The correct pattern for a major scale is WWh , WWWh .
The correct pattern for a major scale is WWh , WWWh .
Four half steps, or two whole steps.

The semitones (half steps) in a major scale are between the 3rd and 4th and the 7th and 8th notes.
The key difference between a major and minor interval is the number of half steps between the two notes. In a major interval, there are typically two whole steps (or four half steps) between the notes, while in a minor interval, there are typically one and a half steps (or three half steps) between the notes. By counting the number of half steps between the two notes in the interval, one can determine whether it is major or minor.

You can determine whether an interval is major or minor by counting the number of half steps between the two notes. If the interval has a distance of 2, 3, 6, or 7 half steps, it is major. If it has a distance of 1, 4, 5, or 8 half steps, it is minor.

Hi, Any major scale has this pattern: Tone, Tone, Semitone, Tone Tone Tone Semitone. Tones are 'steps' and semitones are 'half - steps'. Keep up the music playing!
