1 Before class and/or when you finish the quiz, construct as many of the following scales as you have time for, in bass clef, giving special attention to ^6 and ^7. Be able to explain why you used the accidentals that you did at ^6 and ^7: 1. C minor harmonic 2. B-flat minor melodic (ascending) 3. D minor harmonic 4. g# minor melodic (ascending) In writing minor scales, always add an accidental (even if it’s a seemingly superfluous natrual) for: raised ^6 (MA) raised ^7, LT (MA and H)

2 W 1/2 W W | 1/2 +2nd 1/2 X ^6 XX X X X Friday’s Goof(s) of the Day Given e= ^6, build the harmonic form of the minor scale X X X

3 Intervals, Part I: The Mechanics

4 Intervals I. Any pair or set of two notes II. An interval is the distance between two notes of a dyad A. Melodic intervals (successive/horizontal) B. Harmonic intervals (simultaneous/vertical) III.All intervals are identified by general name (2nd, 3rd, 9th) and specific name (major, minor, diminished, augmented, doubly diminished or augmented) Abbreviations: M m º (dim) + (A) ºº ++ = a dyad

5 IV. General Names A.Determined by counting lines and spaces, bottom to top, including the starting note = 1 and top note B. Special Cases: 1. same line or space = unison (not 1st) 2. No 8ths; 8 = octave (8va) in recognition of special property of 8va equivalence 3. Use 3rds and 5ths as visual “guidepost” intervals X

6 V. Specific Names A. Determing Specific Names (2 steps) 1. Build a Major scale from the bottom tone of the interval to the top 2. Compare the top note to the “major scale note” 3. If given interval occurs in major scale, you’re done: Perfect (unisons, 4ths, 5ths, 8vas=Group 1) Major (2nds, 3rds, 6ths, 7th=Group 2) 4.If given interval is not in major scale? Compare using the schema above. Larger Smaller

7 VI. Interval Shortcuts A. The Crazy Bottom Note B. Double Accidentals C. The Perfect 5th Trick: all white-key 5ths perfect except b-f D. The Perfect 4th Trick: all white-key 4ths perfect except f-b E. Working from top-to-bottom F. Inversion Tricks Memorize Major Key Signatures!
