 Introduction part IV of blog

​We will now continue with the 4th introduction of this blog, but this time we'll
​be talking about Intervals. Remember to go back in

​the blog if you miss out on something.

Music Theory of Intervals

Short introduction to Intervals
Intervals in music are important, they tell you the distance between notes in music, melodically and harmonically. With intervals you can make any chord or any scale, this also tells you much about how music is constructed.

There are two intervals you should learn straight away; the major and the minor 2nd interval. With these two intervals you will be able to construct the major scale. Take a closer look at the Second Intervals under:
Half steps on the piano  (Minor 2nds)
This is the smallest interval or distance between two notes on the piano:

Here is an example of half steps in music notation:
Picture
Whole steps on the piano  (Major 2nds)
The whole step consists of two half steps. There will only be room for one note between two notes in a whole step. Take a look at the piano chart under and you’ll get the picture:

Here is an example of whole steps in music notation:

Intervals from first note in the C major scale
Take a look at the numbers 1 to 8 below? You will find the name of the intervals in the scale by its relation to the first note:
Picture
Melodic intervals
You can probably see this clearer below. ​The names of intervals are based on latin. Here they are in English:

​This might be a bit much about intervals, but it is useful to know in order to understand the connections between chords and scales in music. 
​
There are several variations of each interval. If you want to learn more about this I recommend you to search more on internet. We need to get on with the chords soon, but in the meantime you can take a look at the «Interval Chart»  under for a more detailed Interval overview.
