There are two types of intervals: Main and Ideal. Ideal times are normal and found in most ethnic music close to the planet. Main times are cultural and observed in western music. Every kind is treated slightly differently.
Let's now seem at a numbered C main level. The very first range degree (1) is the underlying take note.
C D E F G A B C
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Perfect are discovered: between the root observe and itself (known as a Ideal Unison), the main and the 4th level degree (referred to as a Perfect Fourth), the main and the 5th (named a Best Fifth), and the main and its octave (named a Ideal Octave).
Important time frames are identified in between the main and the 2nd degree (referred to as a Important Second), the main and 3rd (Important Third), the underlying and 6th (Major sixth), and the underlying and 7th (Key Seventh). That offers us the following time frames in a Key Range:
C to C Perfect Unison(U)
C to D Major 2nd(2)
C to E Main 3rd(3)
C to F Perfect 4th(4)
C to G Perfect 5th(5)
C to A Major 6th(6)
C to B Major 7th(7)
C to C Perfect Octave(8ve)
You usually calculate time frames using the crucial of the lowest be aware, which in this situation is C.
The two Key and Perfect times are known as Augmented when the major observe is a semitone increased (bigger/sharpened) than the level tone of the important. For case in point, C to F is a Excellent Fourth, C to F# is an Augmented Fourth. C to A is a Key Sixth, C to A# is a Augmented Sixth.
When the best be aware is a semitone reduced (smaller/flattened) than the range tone of the crucial, Key intervals grow to be minor but Ideal time frames become Diminished. For illustration, C to B is a Key Seventh, C to Bb is a Minor Seventh. C to G is a Best Fifth, C to Gb is a Diminished Fifth.
