Let’s do a little discussion on half-step and whole step movement in music.
Half-Step
Half-step is the smallest interval in western musical scale.
To get the half step from any note, just move up or down to the next note.
Eg. A half step upward from C is C#.
A half step upward from G is G#.
A half step downward from G is Gb [note I said Gb and not F# because moving downward is flat and going upward is sharp].
Whole-Step
A whole-step is just twice of half step. This means twice of half-steps is equivalent to one whole-step.
A whole step upward from C is D because C~C# is a half-step while C#~D is also a half-step.
C~D becomes a whole-step equivalent to two half-steps[C~C# and C#~D]…
Exercise 1: Provides the Half-step downward notes from
> A
> C#
> F
> D
> Gb
> Bb
> Ab Exercise 2: Provide the whole-step upward notes from
> D#
> Eb
> F
> C
> B
> G.
This is the solfa notation of “case” by Teni. Saxophonist and guitarist can find it helpful to do a cover for the song. Its in the key of Aflat.
