Free Music Downloads - Intervals Worksheets for Music Educations - Free Printable

To solve this worksheet, we need to identify the musical interval between the two notes in each pair. An interval is the distance in pitch between two notes. We count the number of letter names (lines and spaces) from the first note to the second note, including both the start and end notes.

Here is the step-by-step breakdown for each line:

Line 1: 3ds / 5ths
*(We only look for intervals of a 3rd or a 5th)*

1. A to C: Count A(1), B(2), C(3). This is a 3.
2. D to A: Count D(1), E(2), F(3), G(4), A(5). This is a 5.
3. F to Bb: Count F(1), G(2), A(3), B(4). Wait, let's look closer. The bottom note is F. The top note is B-flat. F-G-A-B is 4 letters. But the instructions say "3ds/5ths". Let me re-examine the image carefully.
* Actually, looking at the third pair: Bottom is F, Top is Bb. That is a 4th. But the header says "3ds/5ths". Let me re-read the notes.
* Ah, I see. The third pair is F (bottom) and Bb (top). F-G-A-B is a 4th. Is it possible I am misreading the clef or notes? No, it's Treble Clef. F is bottom space. Bb is middle line. That is a 4th.
* Let's look at the next one. G to E. G(1)-A(2)-B(3)-C(4)-D(5)-E(6). That's a 6th.
* Let's re-read the header: "3ds / 5ths". This implies the answers *should* be 3s or 5s. Let me look really closely at the third pair again.
* Pair 3: Bottom note is on the bottom space (F). Top note is on the middle line (B). With a flat sign. So F to Bb. That is a Perfect 4th.
* Pair 4: Bottom note is on the second line (G). Top note is on the top space (E). G-A-B-C-D-E. That is a 6th.
* There seems to be a mismatch in the worksheet header vs the content for pairs 3 and 4. However, usually, these worksheets mix them up later. Let's look at the *actual* notes provided and calculate the true interval, regardless of the header label which might just indicate the *types* introduced so far or be a slight error in the problem generation.
* *Correction*: Let's look at the visual spacing.
* Pair 1: A to C. Skip one line/space. That's a 3rd. Answer: 3
* Pair 2: D to A. Skip three lines/spaces. That's a 5th. Answer: 5
* Pair 3: F to Bb. F-G-A-B. That is a 4th. Answer: 4
* Pair 4: G to E. G-A-B-C-D-E. That is a 6th. Answer: 6
* Pair 5: C to G. C-D-E-F-G. That is a 5th. Answer: 5
* Pair 6: E to B. E-F-G-A-B. That is a 5th. Answer: 5
* Pair 7: B to F. B-C-D-E-F. That is a 5th. Answer: 5
* Pair 8: D to A. D-E-F-G-A. That is a 5th. Answer: 5
* Pair 9: F to D. F-G-A-B-C-D. That is a 6th. Answer: 6
* Pair 10: A to F. A-B-C-D-E-F. That is a 6th. Answer: 6

*Wait*, the header says "3ds / 5ths". It is highly likely that pairs 3, 4, 9, and 10 are actually testing 4ths and 6ths even though they aren't listed in the first header, OR the header applies to the whole page progressively. Let's look at Line 2's header: "3ds / 4ths / 5ths". This suggests Line 1 *might* have been intended to only have 3s and 5s, but visually contains others. I will provide the mathematically correct interval for every single pair shown.

Let's re-evaluate Line 1 strictly by visual note counting:
1. A -> C: 3
2. D -> A: 5
3. F -> Bb: 4
4. G -> E: 6
5. C -> G: 5
6. E -> B: 5
7. B -> F: 5
8. D -> A: 5
9. F -> D: 6
10. A -> F: 6
