Finding Intervals
|
The Silver Tuna :
This Chart below is your BEST FRIEND when finding intervals - if we can Count the half steps, we can use this chart to determine the numerical name for the interval . |
|
BUT - Why do we call them those names ???
It all has to do with the second notes relation to the scale of the fundamental pitch .
First Pitch Heard = Original Pitch = Fundamental Pitch
Second Note heard = Interval Pitch = ?
The when calling the interval by its numeric name, we are actually describing its relation to the fundamental pitch's scale.
IE , Fundamental Pitch = C , Interval Pitch = G
G Is the 5th note in the C major Scale , so the interval would be a ____?

Practice : Using Teoria
Now that we are finding Intervals, we can use this handy site 'teoria' . We will use this again for other concepts !
This page links you to the interval practice from a fixed note - this means that you choose what the first note is and it stays the same. This is a good way to practice, but note that when tested you will have to find both notes. You can also do this same exercise from a random note

- Be sure the all intervals are selected
- under tempo , select "grave" , this will make the program play the notes slowly and hold them out longer
- The default time to give an answer is 10 seconds, but you can increase this is the "answer in" option
- Be sure the "type" is selected as "melodic" , and the direction is "ascending"
Practice : Major or Minor
Use this Site to start practicing hearing Chord Qualities . We will start with JUST major and minor.
PART 2:
IF YOU HAVE A HANDLE ON THIS :
Can you find WHAT major or minor chord it is ? How would we do this ?
