Whole Steps and Half Steps

For this worksheet, you will be asked to name whole and half steps above given notes. To do
this, you will need to use the keyboard provided. If it asks for a whole step, you should find the
given note on the keyboard and then move two spaces to the right. If it asks for a half step, you
should find the given note on the keyboard and move one space to the right. You should count
both black and white keys. To see this, look at the example below.

Ex. A whole step above D is E

Ex. A half step above C is Db/C#

1. A whole step above A is _____________

2. A half step above B is ______________

3. A whole step above E is _____________

4. A whole step above G is _____________

5. A half step above G is _____________

6. A whole step above F# is ____________

7. A half step above Gb is _____________

8. A whole step above B is _____________

9. A half step above D is ______________

Interval Math

For this section, you should follow the same instructions, but I am going to put it in the form of a
math problem. See the example below.

C + whole step = ____________

Bb + half step = ____________

C# + whole step = ___________

Ab + whole step = ___________

A + whole step = ____________

G + half step = ____________

D + whole step = ____________

B + whole step = ____________

F + half step = ____________

E + whole step = ____________

F# + half step = _____________

BONUS QUESTION: Let’s see how smart you really are…

Bb + whole step = ___________ + whole step = _____________ + half step = ____________ +

whole step = ____________ + whole step = _____________ + whole step = _____________ +

half step= _____________

Ex. A whole step above D is E

Ex. A half step above C is Db/C#

1. A whole step above A is B

2. A half step above B is C

3. A whole step above E is F#/Gb

4. A whole step above G is A

5. A half step above G is G#/Ab

6. A whole step above F# is G#/Ab

7. A half step above Gb is G

8. A whole step above B is C#/Db

9. A half step above D is D#/Eb

Interval Math

For this section, you should follow the same instructions, but I am going to put it in the form of a
math problem. See the example below.

C + whole step = D

Bb + half step = B

C# + whole step = D#/Eb

Ab + whole step = A#/Bb

A + whole step = B

G + half step = G#/Ab

D + whole step = E

B + whole step = C#/Db

F + half step = F#/Gb

E + whole step = F#/Gb

F# + half step = G

BONUS QUESTION: Let’s see how smart you really are…

Bb + whole step = C + whole step = D + half step = Eb +

whole step = F + whole step = G + whole step = A +

half step= Bb
