Example 4. Figure 4. Counting Intervals. Simple Intervals. Compound Intervals. Go to Solution Name the intervals. Go to Solution Write a note that will give the named interval.
Classifying Intervals. A to C natural and A to C sharp are both thirds, but A to C sharp is a larger interval, with a different sound. The difference between the intervals A to E natural and A to E flat is even more noticeable. Perfect Intervals. Note These intervals are never classified as major or minor , although they can be augmented or diminished see below. Note Actually, modern equal temperament tuning does not give the harmonic-series-based pure perfect fourths and fifths.
Major and Minor Intervals. Go to Solution Give the complete name for each interval. Go to Solution Fill in the second note of the interval given. Augmented and Diminished Intervals. Some Diminished and Augmented Intervals. Enharmonic Intervals. Any interval can be written in a variety of ways using enharmonic spelling. Always classify the interval as it is written.
Inverting Intervals. To find the inversion of an interval To name the new interval, subtract the name of the old interval from 9.
The inversion of a perfect interval is still perfect. The inversion of a major interval is minor, and of a minor interval is major. The inversion of an augmented interval is diminished and of a diminished interval is augmented. Go to Solution What are the inversions of the following intervals? Augmented third Perfect fifth Diminished fifth Major seventh Minor sixth. Table 4. The examples given name the note reached if one starts on C, and goes up the named interval.
Summary Notes: Perfect Intervals A perfect prime is often called a unison. It is two notes of the same pitch. A perfect octave is often simply called an octave. It is the next "note with the same name". Perfect intervals - unison, fourth, fifth, and octave - are never called major or minor.
Summary Notes: Augmented and Diminished Intervals An augmented interval is one half step larger than the perfect or major interval. A diminished interval is one half step smaller than the perfect or minor interval. Summary Notes: Inversions of Intervals To find the inversion's number name, subtract the interval number name from 9. Inversions of perfect intervals are perfect. What type of minor scale contains the interval of an augmented second? Is C to da whole step?
What is the difference between half step and whole step? Why is there no half step between B and C? Which accidental raises a pitch by a half step? Is a semitone a half step? How many half steps are between A and C? What is half a semitone? What note is a semitone lower than C? Is C higher than D? Is B to C a tone or semitone? Why are there 12 semitones in an octave? Why are there 7 notes in an octave? Are there 12 notes in an octave? Why is it called an octave? Which note is higher A or G? What note is higher than a?
Is an octave 7 or 8 notes? How many notes are in 3 octaves? Why do I sing an octave lower? What octave is middle C? Why does an octave start on C? What is a top C?

Half Steps. One Octave Chromatic Scale. All intervals in a chromatic scale are half steps. The result is a scale that plays all the notes easily available on most instruments. Whole Steps. Whole Tone Scale. All intervals in a whole tone scale are whole steps. Example 4. Go to Solution Identify the intervals below in terms of half steps and whole steps.
