    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
