| A | B |

| Seconds: Qualities | Major, Minor, Augmented, Diminished |
| Seconds: Natural Notes | Between ALL natural notes (with the EXCEPTIOn of E-F and B-C), there is a distance of one WHOLE STEP |
| Seconds: How to Identify | Make all notes natural and determine the quality= Then, add the accidentals and see how the interval is affected |
| Thirds: Qualities | Major, Minor, Augmented, Diminished |
| Thirds: Identifying | Analyze the seconds between the lower and higher notes and a middle note inside the third (EX: The 3rd C-E has two seconds: C-D and D-E) |
| Thirds: If the seconds are "Minor-Minor"... | Then the 3rd is: DIMINISHED |
| Thirds: If the seconds are "Major-Minor"... | Then the 3rd is: MINOR |
| Thirds: If the seconds are "Major-Major"... | Then the 3rd is: MAJOR |
| Thirds: If the seconds are "Augmented-Major"... | Then the 3rd is: AUGMENTED |
| Fourths: Qualities | Perfect, Augmented, Diminished |
| Fourths: Identifying | When analyzing the quality of the 4th, know that the interval is a Perfect 4th if ALL the notes are natural (with exception of the 4th F-B [which is an augmented 4th])= If there are accidentals, you should identify the interval without accidentals and then analyze the effect of the accidentals |
| Fourths: Important Natural Notes | The interval from F-B is an AUGMENTED 4th |
| Fifths: Qualities | Perfect, Augmented, Diminished |
| Fifths: Perfect | 3-(1/2) whole steps (7 half steps) |
| Fifths: Diminished | 3 whole steps (6 half steps) |
| Fifths: Augmented | 4 whole steps (8 half steps) |
| Sixths: Qualities | Major, Minor, Augmented, Diminished |
| Sixths: Identifying | Invert the interval and identify the resulting 3rd= When you get the inverted interval's quality, invert that interval and its quality and thats the answer |
| Sevenths: Qualities | Major, Minor, Augmented, Diminished |
| Sevenths: Identifying | Invert the interval and identify the resulting second= When you get the inverted interval's quality, invert that interval and its quality and thats the answer |
| 2nd= | 7th |
| 3rd= | 6th |
| 4th= | 5th |
| 5th= | 4th |
| 6th= | 3rd |
| 7th= | 2nd |
| Major= | Minor |
| Minor= | Major |
| Augmented= | Diminished |
| Diminished= | Augmented |
| Perfect= | Perfect |
| Simplifying Accidentals: Both notes have the SAME kind of accidentals... | The quality of the interval is the same as the quality of the interval WITHOUT accidentals (i.e. get rid of the accidentals) |
| Simplifying Accidentals: One of the notes has a double sharp and the other has one sharp... | Make the sharp note natural and the double sharp note sharp |
| Simplifying Accidentals: One of the notes has a double flat and the other has one flat... | Make the flat note natural and the double flat note flat |
