Summary

Summary: Intervals are an essential concept in music theory, measuring the difference in pitch between two notes. In Western music, there are seven basic note names, and an octave is subdivided into 12 equal steps known as semitones. Intervals have two characteristics: value (position on the scale) and quality (perfect, major, minor, augmented, or diminished). They are crucial for understanding how scales and chords are built.
