  1. Music Theory: Intervals2nds, 3rds, and P4ths STAIR Lesson Designed by Erik Kubota

  2. Note Reading Review • Identify the following notes (click on the letter name) A B C D E F G A B C D E G F A B D E F G C D A B C D F G E A B C E F G

  3. What is an interval? • An interval is the space between two notes. • There are two parts to naming an interval: • The Quality (major, minor, perfect) • The Distance (2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, etc.) For example… *click to listen*

  4. Musical interval… ruler of music • Think of musical intervals like measurements on a ruler. • Some intervals are smaller • While others are larger

  5. Step 1: Lower vs. Upper Note • The first step is to determine which of the two notes is lower.

  6. Step 2: Count the half steps • The next step is to count the amount of half steps (white & black keys) between the notes… • For example, there are 5 half steps between the following two notes: Bb F

  7. Remember… • Most white keys are 2 half steps (or a whole step) a part. • The exception to this is between: • E - F • B – C

  8. Half Step Counting Practice • Count the amount of half steps in the following intervals: Half steps: 1 2 3 4 5 Half steps: 1 2 3 4 5 Half steps: 1 2 3 4 5

  9. Half steps are like inches • When we count half steps… we are essentially measuring the distance between two notes • Just like when we measure the distance with a ruler, we use inches • In music, we use half steps instead

  10. Step 3: Name the interval • Memorize the following table to determine the quality of an interval. Remember to count up from the lower note. *short hand is case sensitive*

  11. Putting it together… • Identify the following interval… *Click to listen* Step 1: Identify the lower note.

  12. Putting it together… • Identify the following interval… Step 2: Count the half steps between the two notes… = 1 half step B C

  13. Putting it together… • Identify the following interval… Step 3: Name the interval. B to C = 1 half step = minor 2nd (m2 for short)

  14. Identify these intervals Question 1: *Click to listen* minor 2nd minor 3rd Major 2nd Major 3rd Perfect 4th

  15. Identify these intervals Question 2: *Click to listen* minor 2nd minor 3rd Major 2nd Major 3rd Perfect 4th

  16. Identify these intervals Question 3: *Click to listen* minor 2nd minor 3rd Major 2nd Major 3rd Perfect 4th

  17. Identify these intervals Question 4: *Click to listen* minor 2nd minor 3rd Major 2nd Major 3rd Perfect 4th
