🔹 Part 1: Intervals up to a 5th



We are asked to identify each interval as Unison, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th.

#### *(Melodic Intervals)*
These are two notes played one after the other (in time).

1. C to F
- C → D (2nd), D → E (3rd), E → F (4th) → So, 4th
- 4th

2. D to D
- Same note → Unison
- Unison

3. C to E
- C → D (2nd), D → E (3rd) → 3rd
- 3rd

4. A to G
- A → B (2nd), B → C (3rd), C → D (4th), D → E (5th), E → F (6th), F → G (7th)? Wait — we're going *down*.
- But interval is measured from lower to higher, or vice versa? In melody, direction matters, but we usually name it by distance.
- From A down to G → A → G is a 2nd down, so 2nd (minor 2nd)
- 2nd

5. D to A
- D → E (2nd), E → F (3rd), F → G (4th), G → A (5th) → 5th
- 5th

6. G to D
- G → A (2nd), A → B (3rd), B → C (4th), C → D (5th) → 5th
- 5th

> Melodic Answers: 4th, Unison, 3rd, 2nd, 5th, 5th

---

#### *(Harmonic Intervals)*
These are two notes played together (simultaneously).

1. C and E → C to E = 3rd (major third)
- 3rd

2. D and F → D to F = 3rd (minor third)
- 3rd

3. C and G → C to G = 5th (perfect fifth)
- 5th

4. F and A → F to A = 3rd (major third)
- 3rd

5. E and B → E to B = 5th (perfect fifth)
- 5th

6. C and G → C to G = 5th
- 5th

> Harmonic Answers: 3rd, 3rd, 5th, 3rd, 5th, 5th

🔹 Part 2: Intervals up to an Octave



Now, we go beyond 5th — up to octave, including 6th, 7th, and octave.

*(Melodic Intervals)*

1. C to A
- C → D (2nd), D → E (3rd), E → F (4th), F → G (5th), G → A (6th) → 6th
- 6th

2. F to D
- F → G (2nd), G → A (3rd), A → B (4th), B → C (5th), C → D (6th) → 6th
- 6th

3. C to F
- C → D (2nd), D → E (3rd), E → F (4th) → 4th
- 4th

4. F to C
- F → G (2nd), G → A (3rd), A → B (4th), B → C (5th) → 5th
- 5th

5. G to D
- G → A (2nd), A → B (3rd), B → C (4th), C → D (5th) → 5th
- 5th

6. F to E
- F → G (2nd), G → A (3rd), A → B (4th), B → C (5th), C → D (6th), D → E (7th) → 7th
- 7th

7. C to C
- Same pitch → Octave
- Octave

> Melodic Answers: 6th, 6th, 4th, 5th, 5th, 7th, Octave

🎵 How to Identify Intervals:


- Count letter names from the first note to the second (including both).
- Example: C to E → C (1), D (2), E (3) → 3rd
- For harmonic intervals, look at the vertical pair of notes.
- For melodic, follow the sequence left to right.
- Direction matters only for naming (e.g., ascending vs descending), but the size is based on letter count.
