On the line, write whether the pair of notes represents a half step (H) or whole step (W).
Understand the Problem
The question asks for the identification of whether the pairs of musical notes represent half steps (H) or whole steps (W). This involves knowledge of musical intervals and how they are represented on a musical staff.
Answer
E-F (H), F#-G (H), B-C (H), C-D (W), G-A (W), D-E (W), B-C# (W), Bb-C (W).
The notes are as follows: E to F (H), F# to G (H), B to C (H), C to D (W), G to A (W), D to E (W), B to C# (W), and Bb to C (W).
Answer for screen readers
The notes are as follows: E to F (H), F# to G (H), B to C (H), C to D (W), G to A (W), D to E (W), B to C# (W), and Bb to C (W).
More Information
In music, a whole step is made up of two half steps. On a piano keyboard, this is often visible as a white key to another white key with a black key in between.
Tips
Remember that notes like B to C and E to F are naturally half steps because there's no black key between them.
