What are intervals in chords?
Intervals are the building blocks of scales, chords (or harmonies), and melodies. Intervals are a measurement between two pitches, either vertically or horizontally. When measuring vertically, we refer to harmonic intervals because the two notes sound simultaneously.
How do you find the interval of a chord?
To find the interval between 2 notes just find the pitch of the lowest note and start counting until you reach the top note. When counting intervals you always start from the bottom note and count both notes. E.g., to find the interval between C and G, begin on C and count up the scale until you reach G.
Are intervals the same as chords?
In general, the notes of the chord come from the notes of its scale. An interval is the difference between two notes and is one of the building blocks of music. ... Triads are based on a particular scale and are named as minor or major (as well as augmented or diminished).
