Let's solve this
Melodic Intervals worksheet step by step.

🔹 What Are Melodic Intervals?
A
melodic interval is the distance between two pitches played in succession (one after the other). We identify them by counting the number of scale degrees between the two notes, including both notes.
For example:
- From C to D = 2nd
- From C to E = 3rd
- From C to G = 5th
- From C to C (one octave higher) = 8th or Octave
We count
letter names, not just lines and spaces.

We'll go through each pair of notes from top to bottom, left to right. All are in
treble clef.

🎵 Step-by-step Identification:
####
Row 1:
1.
C to E
- C → D → E = 3 notes →
3rd
✔ 3rd
2.
C to F
- C → D → E → F = 4 notes →
4th
✔ 4th
3.
C to G
- C → D → E → F → G = 5 notes →
5th
✔ 5th
4.
C to A
- C → D → E → F → G → A = 6 notes →
6th
✔ 6th
---
####
Row 2:
5.
D to F
- D → E → F = 3 notes →
3rd
✔ 3rd
6.
E to C (lower note is E, upper is C — but wait: E to C is descending!)
But since it's melodic, we consider the direction. However, intervals are named by
distance, not direction. So we count upward from E to C:
- E → F → G → A → B → C = 6 steps →
6th
But wait: E to C (up) is actually a
6th? Let’s check:
- E → F (2nd), F → G (3rd), G → A (4th), A → B (5th), B → C (6th) → yes!
✔ 6th
7.
F to A
- F → G → A = 3 notes →
3rd
✔ 3rd
8.
G to E
- G → A → B → C → D → E = 6 notes →
6th
✔ 6th

####
Row 3:
9.
C to B
- C → D → E → F → G → A → B = 7 notes →
7th
✔ 7th
10.
E to G
- E → F → G = 3 notes →
3rd
✔ 3rd
11.
A to C
- A → B → C = 3 notes →
3rd
✔ 3rd
12.
F to D
- F → G → A → B → C → D = 6 notes →
6th
✔ 6th

####
Row 4:
13.
C to D
- C → D = 2 notes →
2nd
✔ 2nd
14.
D to F
- D → E → F = 3 notes →
3rd
✔ 3rd
15.
E to G
- E → F → G = 3 notes →
3rd
✔ 3rd
16.
G to C
- G → A → B → C = 4 notes →

📝 How to Fill the Worksheet:
Write the name of the interval in the box below each pair:
```
Row 1: 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th
Row 2: 3rd, 6th, 3rd, 6th
Row 3: 7th, 3rd, 3rd, 6th
Row 4: 2nd, 3rd, 3rd, 4th
```

💡 Tips for Remembering:
- Count
letter names from the first note to the second.
- Always include
both notes in your count.
- The interval name depends only on
how many scale degrees apart they are, not whether it's major/minor (this worksheet doesn't require quality like "major" or "minor", just the number).
