HALF STEP MUSIC CHORD
|
| HALF STEP A "Half Step" refers to moving 1 musical step down or up the musical chromatic scale. We may normally think in terms of a full step within a key. Let us look at scales. We will use a scale in the key of C. Scale in Key of C
A scale in the key of C shown above are the normal notes that one might expect in a song. Instead of calling the notes C, D, E, etc. or 1, 2, 3 , we also could think of the sequence as the singing notes: do, re, me fa, so, la ti do. Chromatic Scale starting with C
A chromatic scale is all of the possible musical notes - and not just the notes in the C scale. Note that between two "whole steps" such as C to D, that there is a "half step" in between, that we could call C# (C sharp) or we could also call Db (D flat). Note that C# and Db are the same note, and could be called by either name. Basically, one half step down from D is the same as one half step up from C. In this case, a Half Step is movement one position in the chromatic scale - and not the scale in a given key. For example. One half step above F is F# (or Gb). One half step below B is Bb (or A#). |
