Intervals…
First, count the lower notes as one and then count up the relevant letters until you reach the upper note. The number you reach is the ‘size’ of the interval
If the interval is a 4th, a 5th or an octave, and the upper note belongs to the major scale
(T T S T T T S) starting on the lower note, it is a perfect interval
If the interval is a 2nd, 3rd, 6th or 7th, and the upper note belongs to the major scale
(T T S T T T S) starting on the lower note, it is a major interval
If the interval is a semitone smaller than a major interval, it is a minor interval
If the interval is a semitone smaller than a minor interval or a perfect interval, it is a diminished interval
If the interval is a semitone larger than a major interval or a perfect interval, it is an augmented interval
Hence:
For intervals of a 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 7th For intervals of a 4th, 5th and Octave
Augmented Augmented
Major Perfect
Minor Diminished
Diminished
