Study Notes
Music Theory
Pitch
- Pitch refers to the perceived highness or lowness of a sound
- Measured in Hertz (Hz), with higher numbers indicating higher pitches
- Octaves: repeating patterns of 12 half-steps, with each octave starting on the same letter name (e.g., C, D, E, ...)
Intervals
Intervals
Definition
- An interval is the distance between two pitches
- Can be described in terms of quality (major, minor, perfect, etc.) and quantity (number of half-steps)
Types of Intervals
- Harmonic Intervals: occur between two pitches sounded simultaneously
- Melodic Intervals: occur between two pitches sounded in succession
- Diatomic Intervals: occur within a key or scale
- Chromatic Intervals: occur outside a key or scale
Interval Qualities
- Perfect Intervals: unchanged when inverted (e.g., perfect fifth becomes perfect fourth)
- Major Intervals: one half-step larger than perfect intervals
- Minor Intervals: one half-step smaller than perfect intervals
- Diminished Intervals: one half-step smaller than minor intervals
- Augmented Intervals: one half-step larger than major intervals
