No, all the black keys are either a whole step or three semitones apart. Most of the white keys are too a whole step apart, with the exception of E-F and B-C which are a semitone apart.

What are examples of half step notes?

Take a look at any keyboard. Each key is one half step away from the next. So if you were on an F#, a black key, and you moved up to the next white key, a G, you have gone one half step.


How many half steps are between c AND F SHARP?

There are five whole steps in a heptatonic (7-note) major scale. They occur between the 1st and 2nd notes, the 2nd and 3rd notes, the 4th and 5th notes, the 5th and 6th notes, and the 6th and 7th notes. In practice, the scale usually includes an 8th note, which is one octave above the Tonic (first note). In practice, scales are played in both ascending and descending form; therefore the relation between the 7th and 8th notes is important! Half-steps thus occur between the 3rd and 4th notes, and between the 7th and 8th notes. Therefore, in response to your question, there are 2 half-steps in any major scale. Yours truly, Fredrick Pritchard


How many half steps equal a whole step?

A half step is the difference between one not including accidentals. So going up a half step would be from an F to F# or B to C. A whole step is two half steps. So going up a whole step would be from an F to G or B to C#. If you imagine all the keys on a piano, black and white; a half step is the difference between adjacent keys on the piano and a whole step would have one key in the middle.


Why are piano keys black and white?

The piano's white keys represent the tones of the musical alphabet: A, B, C, D, E, F, G. The black keys represent half-steps between various notes (sharps and flats). Together, there are 7 white keys and 5 black keys per octave, which together represent the twelve equally spaced tones of Equal Temperament. Originally, white keys were made of ivory (white), and black keys of ebony (black). But any two contrasting colors will work. Many old keyboards present the "naturals" (lower tier) as black, and the sharps/flats (upper tier) as white!

What are the steps to find scale?

Depending on what scale you want to find, you would follow a series of half steps and whole steps from a tonic note upwards until you reach the tonic again. For example: Given the knowledge that the major scale has 2 whole steps, 1 half step, 3 whole steps, and 1 half step, you can find any major scale from any given tonic.
