The Easy Method to Work Out Intervals - Music Theory

The video tutorial explains the concept of musical intervals, focusing on perfect, major, and minor intervals. It describes how intervals can be augmented or diminished and provides examples using the C major scale. The tutorial also introduces an interval chart as a useful tool for music theory exams, helping to quickly identify and calculate intervals without confusion.

What happens to a perfect interval when it is increased by a semitone?

• It becomes an augmented interval.

• It becomes a minor interval.

• It remains a perfect interval.

• It becomes a diminished interval.

Which of the following is a perfect interval?

• Third

• Sixth

• Second

• Fifth

If a major interval is reduced by a semitone, what does it become?

• Diminished

• Perfect

• Augmented

• Minor

What is the result of making a minor interval a semitone smaller?

• It remains minor.

• It becomes augmented.

• It becomes diminished.

• It becomes major.

Which intervals are considered major by default?

• Third, Fifth, Seventh

• First, Fourth, Fifth

• Second, Third, Sixth, Seventh

• Fourth, Fifth, Octave

How can an interval chart be useful during a theory exam?

• It explains the history of music theory.

• It assists in quickly identifying interval types.

• It provides a list of all musical notes.

• It helps in composing music.

What is the primary purpose of distinguishing between perfect and major intervals?

• To understand musical history.

• To learn musical scales.

• To avoid confusion in interval identification.

• To compose better music.
