Frequently asked questions
What is a musical interval?
It is the distance between two notes, measured in semitones. A major third is 4 semitones (C to E), a perfect fifth is 7 (C to G) and the octave is 12 (C to C).
How do I start training?
Start with a few very different intervals, such as major third, perfect fifth and octave. When you get almost all of them right, enable more intervals and move on to descending mode and then harmonic, where the two notes sound together.
What is interval training for?
It helps you play songs by ear, tune your voice, do melodic dictation in music classes and exams and improvise with more confidence.
