Overview

In this module, we bring together everything you’ve learned about intervals and focus on two powerful strategies for identifying them quickly and accurately: using the major scale and using interval inversion. Instead of relying only on counting half steps, these methods help you recognize intervals more efficiently by connecting them to patterns you already know. By the end of this module, you’ll be able to choose the best strategy for the situation and identify intervals in a variety of musical contexts.

Objectives

By the end of this module you should be able to:

  • Use the major scale to determine the quality of intervals
  • Use interval inversion to simplify larger intervals
