What is a whole step? 

• one half step 
• two half steps 
• two white keys 
• two black keys 

Which one of these describe a half step?

• the distance from one key to the next adjacent key 
• distance from one white key to the next white key 
• distance from one black key to the next black key 
• none of these 

Which one of these is a half step?

• F to F#
• F to G 
• G to A#
• D to F
