Melody - Tones and Semitones

A semitone (S) or half step (H) is the smallest interval in traditional Western music. It is the shortest distance between to pitches. The piano keyboard is arranged in half steps; the distance between two adjacent keys on the piano is a half step.

The tone (T) or whole step (W) is an interval made by combining two half steps.
