    Minor 2nd

    • Good for Trolling

    • Only 1 semi-tone apart

    • Sounds like a mosquito

    • Compared to the tri-tone:

      • Tritone: sounds angry & jarring

      • Min 2nd: just sounds annoying.



  • Major 2nd : "The Zombie"2:16
    • Sounds very hypnotizing and zombie-like
      • If zombies had keyboards, they'd play minor 2nds
      • they're also like the Hypnotoad from Futurama
    • Major 2nds clash in a more pleasant and but eerie way - less offensive than minor 2nd
    • They give a feeling of something Frozen in time - imagine a busy city square full of people walking around, then all of a sudden time just freezes, and everything is at a stand still - like in The Matrix.
    • Paralyzing - makes you stop in your tracks
    • Think of the Maj 2nd as a Still portrait - a Spooky one.
  • Minor 3rd : "The Phone Funeral"1:47
  • Major 3rd : "The Patronus"3:00
  • Perfect 4th : "The Wannabe"3:57

Being able to instantly recognize musical intervals offers numerous benefits, particularly for musicians, composers, and music students. Some of the key advantages include:


  1. Improved Sight-Reading: Quickly recognizing intervals helps musicians read and interpret sheet music more efficiently, allowing for smoother sight-reading and faster learning of new pieces.

  2. Enhanced Ear Training: Recognizing intervals helps to strengthen a musician’s ear, making it easier to identify notes, chords, and melodies by ear. This is crucial for improvisation, transcribing music, and playing by ear.

  3. Better Composition and Arrangement: Understanding intervals allows composers and arrangers to make more informed decisions about harmony, melody, and voice leading, leading to more interesting and emotionally impactful compositions.

  4. Faster Transcription: Being able to recognize intervals helps with transcribing music, as you can quickly identify relationships between notes, speeding up the transcription process and improving accuracy.

  5. Improved Harmony Understanding: Intervals are fundamental to building chords and understanding harmonic progressions. A solid grasp of intervals allows musicians to understand and manipulate harmonies more effectively.

  6. Stronger Improvisation Skills: When improvising, musicians who can recognize intervals on the fly can make more intuitive and creative choices, helping them express themselves more freely within a musical context.

  7. Increased Aural Memory: Developing interval recognition strengthens a musician’s aural memory, allowing them to recall melodies and harmonic structures more easily.

  8. Better Communication with Other Musicians: Musicians can more easily communicate musical ideas to each other using interval-based language, whether in rehearsals, performances, or collaborations.

  9. Enhanced Performance Skills: Recognizing intervals quickly allows performers to anticipate the next notes in a piece, leading to a more confident and expressive performance.

  10. Faster Learning and Retention: Musicians who recognize intervals instantly can learn new music more quickly and retain it for longer periods, as they spend less time deciphering the relationships between notes.


Overall, interval recognition serves as a foundational skill that enhances virtually every aspect of musical proficiency.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone looking to increase their musicianship and aural skills
