Since it is not quite a full second, we call it a minor second. The C sharp or D flat key falls in the middle of the second interval. Since the black keys are not a part of the C Major scale, when they are played as an interval of C, they are given special names. For other scales use the notes that are not a part of the scale. In the case of C, the black keys are the notes that are outside of the major scale. Remember, the C Major scale is unique because it is made up entirely of white keys. We talked about how to label the black keys in the C major scale earlier. Finishing out the intervals that make up the note of the major scale we have C to F as a perfect fourth, C to G as a perfect fifth, C to A as a major sixth, and C to B as seventh. Play it a few times to get a feel for it. Let's move on to the C and E, a major third. A major second interval will have similar “feeling” in any scale you play it. Right now I want you to alternate between the C and the D a few times and listen to how a major second sounds. If we start at C and move up the C Major scale, we can label the intervals in that scale. This time I'm going to go a little slower and explain a little more about what makes intervals important and how they are used in building chords.Īs I said before, intervals are the space between two notes. I told you in a previous lesson that I would go over intervals again. Download PDF Learn How To Play Intervals & Octaves On The Piano!
