Where are the two half steps in a regular minor scale?

To identify the half steps in a regular minor scale, you need to understand the pattern for constructing a minor scale. The formula for a natural minor scale is: whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step.
To find the two half steps, it's helpful to start with the root note of the minor scale and then apply the formula. For example, let's take the A minor scale:
1. A whole step from A is B.
2. A half step from B is C.
3. A whole step from C is D.
4. A whole step from D is E.
5. A half step from E is F.
6. A whole step from F is G.
7. A whole step from G is A.
In this case, the two half steps are between B and C, and between E and F.
By applying the formula to any minor scale, you can determine the specific locations of the two half steps.
