You're working on identifying
harmonic intervals in the
key of C major. Harmonic intervals are two notes played *simultaneously*, and you’re asked to name them using standard interval names: Unison, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, Octave.
Let’s go through each interval one by one, row by row, from left to right.
---
🎼 Row 1:
1.
C – C → Same note →
Unison
2.
C – E → C to E is a major 3rd →
3rd
3.
C – F → C to F is a perfect 4th →
4th
4.
C – G → C to G is a perfect 5th →
5th
5.
C – B → C to B is a major 7th →
7th
✔ Row 1:
Unison, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th
---
🎼 Row 2:
1.
C – D → C to D is a major 2nd →
2nd
2.
C – C → Same note →
Unison
3.
C – A → C to A is a major 6th →
6th
4.
C – E → C to E is a major 3rd →
3rd
5.
C – C (octave higher) → C to the next C up →
Octave
✔ Row 2:
2nd, Unison, 6th, 3rd, Octave
---
🎼 Row 3:
1.
C – G → C to G →
5th
2.
C – D → C to D →
2nd
3.
C – C (octave higher) →
Octave
4.
C – F → C to F →
4th
5.
C – E → C to E →
3rd
✔ Row 3:
5th, 2nd, Octave, 4th, 3rd
---
🎼 Row 4:
1.
C – C →
Unison
2.
C – G →
5th
3.
C – A →
6th
4.
C – F →
4th
5.
C – C (octave higher) →
Octave
✔ Row 4:
Unison, 5th, 6th, 4th, Octave

##
✔ Final Answer (by row):
Row 1: Unison, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th
Row 2: 2nd, Unison, 6th, 3rd, Octave
Row 3: 5th, 2nd, Octave, 4th, 3rd
Row 4: Unison, 5th, 6th, 4th, Octave

## 💡 Tip for Identifying Intervals:
- Count the letter names (including both notes) to find the interval number.
- C to E = C-D-E → 3 letters → 3rd
- C to G = C-D-E-F-G → 5 letters → 5th
- In C major, all intervals from C are naturally major or perfect (no sharps/flats needed).
- Perfect: Unison, 4th, 5th, Octave
- Major: 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th
