Learning Intervals
An interval in music is the distance between two notes in regard to pitch (how high or low the note sounds). The interval is counted from the lower note to the upper, including both notes. Intervals remain the same whether we use the bass clef or treble clef.Here are some examples:

Harmonic and Melodic Intervals
|
Two notes
written and played one after the other are called a MELODIC interval.
For example: |
|
|
|
| Harmonic
5th (H5) |
Melodic
5th (M5) |
Watch out, though! If two notes are touching, even if diagonal from each other, they are HARMONIC intervals. That's as close as we can get a 1st or 2nd without overlapping the notes.
YOUR ASSIGNMENT
A. Put the name of the interval in the space provided. Be sure to specify if it is a melodic or harmonic interval by placing an M or H in front of the interval number.

Intervals ... One Last Chance!
An interval in music is the distance between two notes in regard to pitch (how high or low the note sounds). The interval is counted from the lower note to the upper, including both notes. Intervals remain the same whether we use the bass clef or treble clef.
Remember a HARMONIC interval is two notes played or written together (one on top of the other or touching side by side). A MELODIC interval is two notes that are written and played one after the other. That's as close as we can get a 1st or 2nd without overlapping the notes.YOUR ASSIGNMENT
