Intervals AP Music Theory Mr. Silvagni

What is an Interval? An interval is the distance between two notes There are two parts to an interval name Quality – major/minor/perfect/augmented/diminished Distance – numerical (how many letter names away)

Standard Intervals Semitone = half steps All major and perfect intervals come from the major scale All minor (except m2) and perfect intervals come from the minor scale

Nonstandard Intervals d ouble diminished – diminished – minor – major – augmented – double augmented double diminished – diminished – perfect – augmented – double augmented

Strategies If accidentals are troubling, remove them first, then add them back and see how they affect the interval Raising the bottom or lowering the top note makes the interval smaller Lowering the bottom or raising the top note makes the interval bigger Remember, do not change the numerical part…any kind of C to any kind of A is still a 6th

Interval Inversions

Intervals in Famous Music

Compound Intervals Intervals that exceed an octave Typically from 9 th to 15 th but could theoretically go on foreverSame as simple intervals, but have an octave displacementAdd 7 to the lower interval9th = 2nd, 10th = 3rd, 11th = 4th , 12 th = 5 th , 13 th = 6 th , 14 th = 7 th , 15 th = 8 th
