1 tone
in major keys: semitones between mediant (III) and subdominant (IV), and between leading tone (VII) and tonic (VIII)
in aeolian minor keys: semitones between supertonic (II) and mediant, and between dominant (V) and superdominant (VI)
in C major and aeolian A minor e.g. between E and F, and between B and C

2 semitones in one octave (in both major and minor scales)
TTSTTTS - major scale
TSTTSTT - minor scale

Remember that if someone said move a note by a semitone means go 1 key forward i mean move to left to right. But if someone said move by a tone means go 2 keys forward. Example if your in Middle C Key and move by a semitone means go to C# Key. But if someone said move by a Tone means go to D Key if you're in Middle C. Im only talking about the keys in the piano not in the staff.

This can help you learn more how to make Major and Natural Minor (maybe) Scales and Chords if you remember the formula like TTSTTTS. I hope this was helpful and understandable because im just a 10 year old kid 🙃.

Edit: If you are in a Black Key and move by a semitone then go to the White Key. But if you move by a tone then go to the next Black Key. But if you are in Eb Key (in the Treble Clef) and move by a tone then go to the F Key because there is no such thing as a E# or a Fb Key. And if your at a E Key and move by a tone then go to the F# key. Same thing as Bb Key. and And B key

This thing is still the same as when moving down a Semitone or a Tone. Remember when you want to mive a note say the Direction (Up/down) and Distance (Intervals)

Hi, my savior, I was at cello lessons today, and the main subject was tones and semitones I didn't have a clue, I've had a headache all day long until I found your page, and now no headache, everything made clear I shall be following you, great stuff. Thank you. Oh, I worked out there are 12 semitones in an octave, is that correct?.

There is no black note between B and C and E and F. So, people might easily confuse those half steps with those natural half steps as whole steps.
