Not-So-Perfect Intervals
|
A student was trying to construct Perfect intervals, but made
a lot of mistakes! Are the intervals below too big, too small, or
just Perfect? (Remember the Speed Tip from the previous page, and
you'll fly through these!)
|
 |
When an interval in the Perfect group is a half step too small we call it diminished. When an interval is a half step too big we call it Augmented. |
|
Label the quality of the following intervals in the Perfect
group:
Now construct some intervals of your own. You can always start by first constructing a Perfect interval, and then changing the accidental to make the interval bigger or smaller: |
Congratulations, you've learned half of the intervals! Now it's time to test your knowledge: continue to the next page for a timed challenge using intervals from the Perfect group!
