How do you calculate specific intervals?

Specific intervals tell us something abou the quality of the intervals such as if the interval is major, minor, augmented, diminished or perfect. To measure a specific interval begin with the bottom note and count 1 for the first half step between the bottom note and the next half step up.

What are the rules for intervals?

Trick #1: Memorize the Rules Fast

Here are the six rules for the intervals of the major scale: Major Second: Accidental matches, except root E/B where it's raised one. Major Third: Accidental raised one, except root F/C/G where it matches. Perfect Fourth: Accidental matches, except root F where it's lowered one.

How do you add intervals to music?

Creating a compound interval

You have two options: Count the interval between notes by half steps, as with the tenth. Take your compound interval, put both notes in the same octave, figure out the number size of that interval, and then add seven to the number size of the resulting interval.
