WELCOME TO THE INTERVAL SITE!

Spend a moment learning about intervals in music.
 
 
 

    Intervals in music allow us to have a regulated form of notation.
Western music has evolved to a selection of skips or distances between notes that allow us to predict how our music sill sound.  By starting at a root note, we can skip between intervals to construct a melodic line.
 
 

Choose the interval and example you would like to hear:
 

• 2nd
• 3rd
• 4th
• 5th
• 6th
• 7th
• octave

    By using accidentals, we can alter the size of the interval ( either up or down ) which in turn will change it's sound.  We can chnge a major (M)
to a minor (m) simply by shortening the upper note by 1/2 step.  In the following example you will see only Major or Perfect notes.  No minor intervals will be presented.

    Below you will see written examples of Major or Perfect intervals.
