What Is a Semitone?

A semitone is the smallest interval in Western music — the distance between two adjacent notes on a piano (e.g., C to C#, or E to F). There are 12 semitones in an octave.

  • +1 semitone — raises pitch by one half-step (C → C#)
  • +5 semitones — raises pitch by a perfect fourth (C → F)
  • +7 semitones — raises pitch by a perfect fifth (C → G)
  • +12 semitones — raises pitch by one full octave (C4 → C5)
  • -12 semitones — lowers pitch by one full octave (C5 → C4)

Use Cases
