There are two different gaps between notes in a scale called whole steps and half steps. If you are playing a major scale, you will play 12345678 Where 1 is the root note, 8 is the octave, and there are half steps between 3 and 4, as well as 7 and 8

What are the scale and the interval?

A scale is a series of notes in ascending order (usually), beginning with tonic through each tone in the key ie: CDEFGABC. An interval is the distance between any two notes, for example: the interval between A and C is a minor third.

What is the third solfege syllables in a major scale?

7 notes are in the major scale. Example: The C major scale would be C, D, E, F, G, A, B, and C again, which is 8 notes when played, but technically the C wouldn't be counted twice so you only end up with 7 different tones. The G major scale would be the same and so on. Example: G, A, B, C, D, E, F#(G)


What does the musical term step mean?

A step is the distance between two notes. A half step is the shortest (tonal) distance between two notes (such as between B and C), and a whole step is therefore a distance of two half steps between two notes (such as between C and D, since C#/Db is between them).


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.
