November Monthly M-ship: Major 2nd (M2)

Giving thanks is great anytime, but especially in November. So, after a month of tense minor 2nds in October,

November’s interval is the MAJOR 2nd. Think of the first 2 notes of Happy Birthday and you’ve got a major 2nd!

November is MAJOR 2nd month!

Some reminders:

1. INTERVALS are the Building Blocks of MUSIC.
2. HALF-STEPS (or semi-tones) are the Building Blocks of INTERVALS.
3. The QUALITY of an interval can be either Major, Minor, Perfect, Augmented, or Diminished.
4. MAJOR or MINOR intervals are 2nd, 3rd, 6th, and 7th.
5. PERFECT, AUGMENTED, or DIMINISHTED intervals are Unison, 4th, 5th, and 8ve.
6. A MINOR interval is ½ step smaller than a MAJOR interval (2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th).
7. A DIMINISHED interval is ½ step smaller than a PERFECT interval (Unison, 4th, 5th, 8ve).
8. An AUGMENTED interval is ½ step larger than a PERFECT interval (Unison, 4th, 5th, 8ve).
