I have fresh insights on the whole-step distance to share with you in this lesson.<\/p>\n

The whole-step distance is one of the basic ideas musicians start out with while learning how to play the keyboard — especially while learning scales. So, it’s easy to assume that you are already conversant with everything about whole-steps.<\/p>\n

But I’m going to give you a breakdown of the whole-step distance from a never-before-seen perspective and right before I do that, I’ll love to give you some quick insights on the whole-step.<\/p>\n

Quick Insights On The Whole-Step<\/h2>\n

Although there are many ways to define a whole-step and we’ve covered them in the past, I’ll want to give you a new definition that is a bit advanced.<\/p>\n

The whole-step is simply <\/em>a major second interval.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Attention:<\/strong> This definition is not for beginners.<\/p>\n

So, if you’re familiar with the major second interval, then you’re also familiar with the whole-step and I suppose that you know what a major second interval.<\/p>\n

A major second interval is the distance between the first and second tones of the major scale in any key.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Using the E major scale (as a reference):
\n
\n…the distance between the first and second tones of the scale (which are E and F#):
\n
\n…is a major second interval and a whole-step for all intents and purposes.<\/p>\n

A Breakdown Of The Whole-Step Into Half-Steps<\/h2>\n

The expression below is correct:<\/p>\n

Half-step + Half-step = Whole-step<\/p>\n

Whole-step = Half-step + Half-step<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Therefore, a whole-step distance consists of two half-steps. For example, the whole-step distance between C and D:
\n
\n…consists of two half-step distances and there are two approaches to the breakdown of the whole-step:<\/p>\n

Approach #1<\/h3>\n

The whole-step distance between C and D consists of the following half-step distances:<\/p>\n

C-C#:
\n
\nC#-D:
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Approach #2<\/h3>\n

The following half-step distances:<\/p>\n

C-Db:
\n
\nDb-D:
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…are between C and D (a whole-tone distance):
\n
\n“Hey! Can I Get Your Undivided Attention”<\/em><\/p>\n

The half-steps that make up a whole-step distance are ordinarily<\/em> half-steps. However, if you probe further, you’ll be able to determine if the half-steps are diatonic or chromatic.<\/p>\n

Attention:<\/strong> There are two half-step types, diatonic half-steps and chromatic half-steps, and every half-step is either diatonic or chromatic.<\/p>\n

Let’s go ahead and examine these half-steps.<\/p>\n

A Critical Look At The Half-Step Components Of The Whole-Step<\/h3>\n

In our breakdown of the whole-step, we came up with two approaches that produced two half-steps each.<\/p>\n

Approach #1 produced “C-C#” and C#-D”:<\/p>\n

C-C#:
\n
\n…which is a chromatic semitone.<\/p>\n

C#-D:
\n
\n…which is a diatonic semitone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…while approach #2 produced “C-Db” and “Db-D”:<\/p>\n

C-Db:
\n
\n…which is a diatonic semitone.<\/p>\n

Db-D:
\n
\n…which is a chromatic semitone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, it will interest you to know that the whole-step for each of the approaches can be broken down to two half-steps: a diatonic semitone and a chromatic semitone.<\/p>\n

“What You Need To Know About The Whole Step”<\/em><\/h2>\n

Every whole-step consists of two half-steps.<\/p>\n

However, the half-steps that make up a whole-step are a combination of a diatonic half-step and a chromatic half-step. Hence, two half-step examples of the same type CANNOT produce a whole-step.<\/p>\n

“It’s Simpler Than It Sounds…”<\/em><\/p>\n

The whole-step between C and D:
\n
\n…consists of two half-steps: one of them is diatonic and the other is chromatic. So, for every whole-step a diatonic half-step must follow a chromatic half-step and vice-versa.<\/p>\n

Note this:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Two diatonic half-steps DON’T make a whole step.<\/li>\n
  2. Two chromatic half-steps DON’T make a whole step.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    “Two Diatonic Half-Steps…”<\/em><\/h3>\n

    These diatonic half-steps:<\/p>\n

    E to F:
    \n
    \nF to Gb:
    \n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    …add up to produce E-Gb:
    \n
    \n…which is NOT a major second interval (aka – “whole-step”).<\/p>\n

    “Two Chromatic Half-Steps…”<\/em><\/h3>\n

    The following chromatic half-steps:<\/p>\n

    Eb to E:
    \n
    \nE to E#:
    \n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    …add up to produce Eb-E#:
    \n
    \n…which is NOT a major second interval (aka – “whole-step”).<\/p>\n

    “So, What’s The Formula For Whole-Steps?”<\/em><\/h3>\n

    The formula for the whole-step is given below:<\/p>\n

    Diatonic half-step + Chromatic half-step = Whole-step<\/p>\n

    Chromatic half-step + Diatonic half-step = Whole-step<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
