Intervals in Music Theory
Hey! I am Mark Black and I am here on expertvillage.com. I am here to talk to you about music theory and learning how to read music. Now, what you do is first off that I wrote a bass clef here and if you are treble clef instruments, which stands to a reason, you are a guitarist, flute player, treble player, etc. I just wrote it because most theory concepts are independent of the instrument. It does not matter if it is a treble or bass clef. So we are going to do a bass clef a little while here, so we are like versatile people. And I want to talk about an interval. An interval is the distance in pitch between notes. All notes are some interval apart like this in bass clef, C to an F. So, this is an interval, a medium sized interval, an A to a B, up here, that is an interval. Even the note from one note to itself is an interval. It is called a unison. Now, only thing I am trying to present to you right now is that intervals are the distances in pitch between note. It does not matter which way you go. If I go from the C to the F or the F to the C it is the same distance, it is the same distance from Dallas to Houston as is from Houston to Dallas it does not matter which is first, how you go there still the same and the unison, there is basically no distance, the same exact note. Now, lot of people make a big deal about intervals and I just wanted to tell you that if we come back and talk about them, the work involved in fully understanding them is, there is a lot of work to understanding them and they are very logical, but they are very involved.
