&#8220;the subtonic&#8221;.)<\/p>\n<p>So, there&#8217;s no better way to understand the concept of the leading note than to take a look at the subtonic in the major and minor key respectively.<\/p>\n<h3>The Subtonic In The Major And Minor Key<\/h3>\n<p>The key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and the key of C minor:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb,C,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;have their subtonic tones respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The subtonic in the major key (which is B):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is different from the subtonic in the minor key (which is Bb):<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;In The Major Key&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The distance between the subtonic and the tonic is a half-step and you can see that in the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;between B and C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,C,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;In The Minor Key&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The distance between the subtonic and the tonic is a whole-step and you can see that in the key of C minor:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb,C,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;between Bb and C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,C,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;In A Nutshell&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The interval between the subtonic and the tonic matters a lot and I&#8217;ll tell you why this is so in a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, note that it&#8217;s a half-step between the subtonic and tonic in the major key and a whole-step between the subtonic and tonic in the minor key.<\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;Why Does The Interval Between The Subtonic And Tonic Matter?&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Well, it is the interval or distance between the subtonic and tonic that determines if the subtonic is a leading note or not.<\/p>\n<p>A subtonic is only considered a leading note when it is a half-step below the tonic. For example, the interval between B and C (which are the subtonic and tonic in the major key):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,C,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a half-step. Consequently, B (the subtonic in the key of C major) is a leading note.<\/p>\n<p>The subtonic in the key of C minor (which is Bb):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a whole-step below the tonic and is therefore NOT a leading note.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>The term subtonic is generic while leading note is specific.<\/p>\n<p>While subtonic can be used for every seventh tone (irrespective of its distance from the tonic), the term leading note is <em>specifically<\/em> used for the seventh tones that are a half-step below the tonic.<\/p>\n<p>Alright! Very special thanks to my mentor and teacher, Jermaine Griggs, for the opportunity to share these helpful insights with you. I&#8217;m looking out for your contributions, questions, and suggestions in the comment section.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this helps.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading and see you in the next
