| 1 | minor 2nd | E-F |
| 2 | major 2nd | B-C# |
| 3 | augmented 2nd | Ab-B |

| d6 | dim6 | The Bb to Gbb interval is diminished 6th |
| m6 | min6 | The Bb to Gb interval is minor 6th |

How do you find intervals?
To determine the size of an interval, count the number of half steps between the two notes then refer to your memory. * A “tritone” is a generic name for an augmented fourth ( 4) or diminished fifth ( 5). These two intervals are enharmonic.
What is a minor 3rd interval?
In music theory, a minor third is a musical interval that encompasses three half steps, or semitones. For example, the interval from A to C is a minor third, as the note C lies three semitones above A. Coincidentally, there are three staff positions from A to C.
What interval is C to E flat?
minor 3rd
The interval between C and E flat is a minor 3rd.
What is the interval of E to A?
1st intervals above note E
| Short | Medium | Intervals ‘above’ statement |
|---|---|---|
| P1 | perf1 | The E to E interval is perfect Unison |
| A1 | aug1 | The E to E# interval is augmented Unison |
What interval is B to B flat?
2nd intervals above note B-flat
| Short | Medium | Intervals ‘above’ statement |
|---|---|---|
| d2 | dim2 | The Bb to Cbb interval is diminished 2nd |
| m2 | min2 | The Bb to Cb interval is minor 2nd |
| M2 | maj2 | The Bb to C interval is major 2nd |
| A2 | aug2 | The Bb to C# interval is augmented 2nd |
What interval is G to E flat?
Diminished Intervals C flat makes the interval one semitone narrower, so this is a diminished 4th. G to F# is a major 7th. G to F natural is one semitone smaller, so it’s a minor 7th. G to F flat is two semitones smaller (than a major 7th), so it’s a diminished 7th.
What note is a fifth above E?
E 5th inverted intervals For example, in the steps above, one of the intervals we measured was a perfect 5th above E, which is note B. In contrast, an inverted interval specifies the distance from B to E – ie.
What interval is E to A?
4th intervals above note E
| Short | Medium | Intervals ‘above’ statement |
|---|---|---|
| d4 | dim4 | The E to Ab interval is diminished 4th |
| P4 | perf4 | The E to A interval is perfect 4th |
| A4 | aug4 | The E to A# interval is augmented 4th |
What is the minor 3rd of B?
Tonic: The 1st note of the B melodic minor scale is B. Major 2nd: The 2nd note of the scale is C#. Minor 3rd: The 3rd is D.
What is the interval between B and C?
The interval between B and C is also a naturally occuring half step. If we lower the B to B flat, we make the interval larger by increasing the distance between the two notes by half step, which now makes the interval a whole step.
What is the interval between AB and B?
Just say ” A, B ” (remember the rule for intervals between any notes?): you said two notes: the interval between Ab and B is a second. Now look at the table above: a second with 3 semi-tones is called an augmented second. Major and Minor : Why those names? There is lot to say about interval names…
What is the perfect 4th interval of the Bb major scale?
Having established that the perfect 4th interval of the Bb major scale is note Eb, this step will explore the other 4th intervals next this note. A perfect interval usually has 2 other intervals grouped around it – one higher and one lower:
What is the interval between C and E called?
It is just a formal process. So now you say ” C,D,E ” : you said three notes, so the interval between C♯ and E is a third. It takes 4 semi-tones (that is to say two whole tones) to go from C to E.
What is the perfect interval from B to C?
(B to C is a minor 2nd, A to C is a minor 3rd, E to C is a minor 6th, D to C is a minor 7th) The other intervals with only notes, beginning or ending with C, that is unison, 4th, 5th or octave, are perfect. Want to practice? Take a look at this interactive page, and train your ears here.
