[Nyannyen]

WHY are 2ndm 3rd, 6th, and 7th Majors for C Major? I need a logical explanation.

[JakobRobert00]

i have a question:

if you have C-F#, is it a great 4th or a small 5th?

[TerryFangaz]

can u give theory on jazz compositions

[XiuzhuW]

Hello, thank you that really helped.

There just one thing I'm not so sure about, for example, with Fsharp minor, do you start counting the semi-tones with Fsharp or F?

thank you.

[musictheoryguy]

Treat F# and F as two very different notes. However, I'm not quite sure why you'd be counting from F or F# if, as you say, you're using F# minor. I'd always refer back to intervals in C Major, as per my video, so that you can be sure you're always calculating the correct number of semitones. I hope this helps.

Best wishes.

semitone = half step?

[intoframe]

sorry for leaving comments on every video! But...at 8 mins why do you stop on 8 semitones, rather than carry on to the 9th?

[musictheoryguy]

Because the top interval note in the example is an F which is 8 semitones away from the bottom interval note - the A.

[intoframe]

Hey whats the difference between a minor 3rd and a diminished 4th?

[musictheoryguy]

There's a big difference. For example, a minor 3rd above C is Eb whereas a diminished 4th is an Fb. Have a look at part 1 of these interval videos - the key thing to always look at is the 'number' of an interval.

Brilliant, really easy to understand and really really helpful.

Thanks for taking the time to post this.

Im just short, in my head, I get it clearly, but thinking about it... I dont get it.

I need to sleep.

[TheNaomiPiano]

Wow!

Awsome video!

[musictheoryguy]

They're used for a wide range of reasons e.g. helping singers pitch between 2notes, assisting beginners to understand relationships between notes, enabling composers to 'hear' notes before they play them... the list goes on. As a conductor the visual understanding of intervals helps me to see/hear what should be happening as opposed to what does happen.

Intervals can be rather dry, timely and boring to study but they always help musicians improve their skills.

so what are intervals used for?
