Intervals You Already Know

You already know the main intervals by ear. You just don't know their names yet.

In this lesson you'll

  • Count intervals in half steps.
  • Learn their names.
  • Hear each one through a song you already know.

Remember

An interval is a distance, counted in half steps.

Tie each interval to a song opening, and you will hear it everywhere.

Two thirds build a chord, and a fourth plus a fifth make an octave.
