We built a major scale, now we can derive larger intervals based on the position of a note in the scale relative to the tonic.
We’ll name these intervals: the distance between the first note of the scale in the third note is the interval of a third for example. The first note to the fourth note of the scale is the interval of a fourth, and so on.
We’ll also learn that these intervals have different qualities: major, minor, perfect, augmented and diminished.
You can also play these intervals in one of two ways, either one note at a time as a melodic interval, or as a harmonic interval, the two notes played simultaneously.
