To help, count the number of half steps between the notes of the interval you are trying to find. From C to D is 1 half-step – that’s a minor second interval. From C to D there are 2 steps C#/Db and D – That’s an interval of a major second. Make sure you do not count the note that you are starting on but that you do count the note that you are going to. From C to D#/Eb there are 3 steps C#/Db, D and D#/E - so on and so forth. Complete the question below use the chart below to help you What is the distance between 1. E and F? 2. G# and A? 3. E and E? 4. B and D? 5. D# and F#? 6. C and Gb? G A Ascending and descending intervals So far we have been counting intervals going up. In music we call this ascending. But we can always count intervals going downwards. We call this descending. We can do this in exactly the same way we work out ascending intervals, by using steps. For example Descending from C to B is 1 step B. Descending from C to A#/Bb is 2 steps B and A#/Bb. Complete questions 1-6 What is the distance between (descending) 1. B and A? 2. F and D? 3. Gb and C? 4. Eb and C? 5. A and G#? 6. B and G#? How do we create a scale? Remember the C major scale from last lesson, how did we create that scale? Work out the intervals of the C major scale C D E F G A B This pattern of intervals can be used to create a major scale in any key. Try to create a G Major Scale. C Very good – can you notice anything different about the pitches in the G major scale? Now create a D major scale. What is the difference this time? Can you see a pattern here? Now create an A major scale. Ok, so there is definitely a pattern here but what is it? To figure out the pattern we will need to look at the tonic of each scale. What is a tonic you say? I guess we need to look at scale degrees before we can solve this pattern.
