Grade Five Revision - 10 (Intervals Quiz)
Grade Five Revision - 10 (Intervals Quiz)3su 57 utenti.
Lots of people find intervals difficult. We promise you that it does get easier with practice! This quiz uses a random selection of questions, so do it as many times as you want and you'll get different questions each time.
Remember:
Always start counting a musical interval from the lower note not the higher one. C-D is a 2nd, because you count C AND D. C-E is a 3rd, because you count C-D-E.
4ths, 5ths, unisons and octaves can be perfect, augmented or diminished (but not major or minor)
2nds and 7ths can be minor, major, augmented or diminished (but not perfect)
3rds and 6ths can only be minor or major*
For more about working out intervals, see lesson 7 - Intervals.
Number of semitones in intervals
A quick way of working out intervals is to count the distance between the notes, then count the semitones (half-steps).
Notice where the intervals overlap, for example an augmented 2nd has the same number of semitones as a minor 3rd.
