TOPIC: INTERVALS

DEFINITION: Interval is the distance in pitch between two notes in music. Interval is also the tonal gap between two notes. The interval in a musical piece is determined by counting from the root note to the top note. For example, in the scale of C major, the root note C is the 1st and the eight-note C above is the octave, which is the 8th interval. The notes between the 1st note and the 8th note are included in the counting.
