The result is a scale that plays all the notes easily available on most instruments. (A few instruments, like trombone and violin, can easily play pitches that aren’t in the chromatic scale, but even they usually don’t.)Īll intervals in a chromatic scale are half steps.
It also plays all the notes easily available on most Western instruments.
So a scale that goes up or down by half steps, a chromatic scale, plays all the notes on both the white and black keys of a piano. But it is clear at the keyboard that in each case there is no note in between them. The intervals in Figure 4.8 look different on a staff sometimes they are on the same line, sometimes not. (b)Three half-step intervals: between C and C sharp (or D flat) between E and F and between G sharp (or A flat) and A. In Western music, the small interval from one note to the next closest note higher or lower is called a half step or semi-tone. This distance between two pitches is called the interval between them. Musicians often find it useful to talk about how much higher or lower one note is than another. The pitch of a note is how high or low it sounds.
