The half step
One more look at what you missed.
The smallest step is the half step.
On the piano it is the very next key, black or white. Two half steps make one whole step.
Listen: a half step, then a whole step.
The “Jaws” theme is two notes a half step apart.
No sound? Check your volume, and that your phone is not on silent.
Which one is higher?
A half step feels tight: the second note leans on the first.
Aim smaller than you think. Most beginners overshoot it and sing a whole step.
Listen. Half step or whole step?
Sing both notes, the second just a half step up.
Each note has its own microphone. If the bar says sharp on the second note, you went too far.
The microphone only hears which note you sing. Nothing is recorded or sent.
This screen listens to you sing. Your voice is measured in this browser: nothing is recorded or sent. No microphone, or not a good moment? Skip it: that costs no star.
You can sing a half step.
