Intervals • The relationship in pitch between two tones. • Intervals are named by number of diatonic notes (notes with different letter names) that can be contained within them.
Intervals • All the numbers within the octave used to identify intervals. • Notice that the interval numbers correspond to the scale degree numbers of the major scale.

PERFECT Intervals • Unison and the octave are also called PERFECT.
MAJOR Intervals • The intervals from the tonic in an upward direction to the second, third, sixth, and seventh scale degrees of a major scale are called MAJOR. • Note that the abbreviations for perfect and major intervals uses a upper case letters. P4, M2, etc.
