Intervals - The Building Blocks of Music

Those of you who were with us last year might remember that we learned about the intervals involved in music. For those of you who are new, here's a quick review:

• Intervals are the buildings blocks of music in general, and scales in particular

• An interval is the distance between 2 notes

• A minor 2nd (half step) is the smallest interval in western music

• Scales are created using a particular arrangement of intervals (whole and half steps)

Here's a fun video to review the different types of intervals, and songs to help you remember them!

Next, we'll watch some videos to help us learn about the different types of scales.
