Build half steps and whole steps above and below given notes.
Activity
Directions:
Follow your teacher’s instructions to add either a half step or whole step, above or below the current note. Once you’ve added all the notes in the Piano Roll, explain your answers out loud using note names.
Step-By-Step:
Open the Soundtrap template linked below.
Double click on the region on the Piano Track.
Your teacher will tell you whether to add half steps or whole steps above or below the given notes.
After your teacher has finished, raise your hand if you think you got them all right.
Say your answers by saying the note added and its relationship to the given note. For example, “G# is a half step above G.”
If you got all the correct notes, you win!
Half Step = 1 note away
Whole Step = 2 notes away
