What do you call a musical interval?
In music theory, an interval is a difference in pitch between two sounds. An interval may be described as horizontal, linear, or melodic if it refers to successively sounding tones, such as two adjacent pitches in a melody, and vertical or harmonic if it pertains to simultaneously sounding tones, such as in a chord.
Which is an example of a musical interval?
So what is a musical interval? An interval is the distance between two notes. Start counting from the lowest note, often the root note, and up to your target note. For example, you can play a bass note and, at the same time, play a high note.
Are there any intervals that are the same note?
We can also have intervals that are the same note. For example, two different instruments might play exactly the same note in a piece of music. This interval is called a unison. When we write a harmonic unison interval (more on harmonic and melodic intervals shortly) we write the notes next to each other.
When do we write notes next to each other in music?
For example, two different instruments might play exactly the same note in a piece of music. This interval is called a unison. When we write a harmonic unison interval (more on harmonic and melodic intervals shortly) we write the notes next to each other. We’ll cover this in the section on harmonic and melodic intervals though.
How does the interval between two notes affect the pitch?
The larger the interval between two notes, then the greater the difference in pitch between the notes. And vice versa, the smaller the interval between two notes then the smaller the pitch between the notes. There are three parts to the way we describe an interval: Is the interval harmonic or melodic?
