    What is interval?

    Interval is the distance between two same notes or two different notes. It may be the difference
    in pitch between any two tones. An interval can be harmonic or melodic.
    The different intervals are set either by steps or by skips. The smallest interval used in music is
    the Half Step. The following are other intervals in music that can help you identify easily the
    distances of the notes on the scale.

    1. Prime/Unison - two notes are written on the same line or space and have the same pitch
    2. Second Interval - there are two steps between two notes
    3. Third interval - there are three steps between two notes
    4. Fourth interval - there are four steps between two notes
    5. Fifth interval - there are five steps between two notes
    6. Sixth interval - there are six steps between two notes
    7. Seventh interval - there are seven steps between two notes
    8. Octave - there are eight steps between two notes

    Here are some examples of intervals as written on the staff using the C Major Scale. To
    determine the intervals between two notes, count every line and space starting from the note
    itself, going to the next note. Look at how they are counted.
