In music, the distance between two pitches is called an Interval. An interval is counted from the lower note to the upper I note, including both.

1. Identify each interval (Pl, M2, M3, P4, PS, M6, M7, P8, or?). Assume the bottom note is the first scale degree of a key. If the upper note fits in that key, the interval is perfect or major. You must know your key signatures to get the correct answer. If the interval is neither perfect nor major, write a ? in the blank. There are only 3 ? answers below. : 8 ~8

Steps to identifying an interval:

1. What is the name of the "generic" interval? ( 6) 2. What is the name of the bottom note? (A) 3. What is the 6th scale degree in A Major? (Fij) 4. What is the name of the top note? (F) Since the top note is a half step lower than the 6th scale degree, the interval is m6.

Steps to writing an interval: Step 1 Step 4
