TOPIC: INTERVALS

DEFINITION: Interval is the distance in pitch between two notes in music. Interval is also the tonal gap between two notes.The interval in a musical piece is determined by counting from the root note to the top note.For example,in the scale of C major, the root note C is the 1st and the eight note C above is the octave,which is the 8th interval.The notes between the 1st note and the 8th note are included in the counting.
