1. INTERVALS Distance in pitch between 2 notes

2. What are the intervals? 1 – 1 = prime intervals = unisons 1 – 2 = 2 nd 1 – 3 = 3 rd 1 – 4 = 4 th 1 – 5 = 5 th 1 – 6 = 6 th 1 – 7 = 7 th 1 – 8 = octave

3. Types of Intervals Perfect : unison, 4 th, 5 th, octaves Major : 2 nd, 3 rd, 6 th, 7 th Minor : when interval between 2 notes of a major (2 nd, 3 rd, 6 th, 7 th ) is decreased half step. PERFECT INTERVALS CAN’T BE MINOR!

4. Types of Intervals Augmented : the interval is raised half step Diminished : the interval is lowered half step Augmented  for perfect & major interval. Why not minor interval ?  back to major Diminished  for perfect (except unisons) & minor interval. Why not major?  becomes minor! Why not unisons? -  becomes increasing!

5. SOLFEGE & TRANSPOSITION Solfege : reading notes using different syllables for each note. ! Do is MOVEABLE! Transposition : re writing a melody into another key. It can be raised or lowered. Easiest way to transpose : by interval. C to D major  transpose major 2 nd higher.
