What interval is C to C flat?
Minor intervals
The interval between C and E flat is a minor 3rd. The interval between C and A flat is a minor 6th.
What is C to A interval?
Major intervals can be augmented by adding a half step. Major intervals can be augmented by adding a semitone. For example, since C to A is a major sixth (9 half steps), C to A# is an augmented sixth (10 half steps). For example, since C to A is a major sixth (9 semitones), C to A# is an augmented sixth (10 semitones).
What is the interval from C to C#?
2nd intervals above note C-sharp
| Short | Medium | Intervals 'above' statement |
|---|---|---|
| d2 | dim2 | The C# to Db interval is diminished 2nd |
| m2 | min2 | The C# to D interval is minor 2nd |
| M2 | maj2 | The C# to D# interval is major 2nd |
| A2 | aug2 | The C# to D## interval is augmented 2nd |
What is the interval from C to E?
For example, the interval from C to E is a major third, as the note E lies four semitones above C, and there are three staff positions from C to E. Diminished and augmented thirds span the same number of staff positions, but consist of a different number of semitones (two and five).
