Introduction To Intervals
This lesson introduces you to musical intervals—the distance between two notes in pitch. The video explains how intervals are named, measured, and visually identified on the staff. You learn to distinguish between half steps and whole steps, and how these units form the basis for interval recognition.
The lesson also explains the difference between harmonic and melodic intervals and highlights the importance of interval training for developing musical fluency. This serves as a critical foundation for understanding scales, chords, and ear training in future lessons.
1: The distance in steps between two notes is called an
2: When the two notes are read from the note with the higher pitch frequency to the note with the lower pitch frequency we call that a
3: When an interval is read from the bottom note to the top note, meaning from the note with the lower pitch frequency to the note with the higher pitch frequency, we call that an
4: When two played in succession, meaning one after the other, it’s called a
5: An interval of two notes played simultaneously is called a

Intervals of A Second
In this lesson we delve into the concept of musical intervals, focusing specifically on intervals of a second. An interval of a second occurs when two notes are one letter apart, such as D to E or B to C, spanning two positions on the staff.
