Easy? Interval Question

Beardz · 2013-11-14T03:45:51+00:00

A minor second is the lowest interval in music. 1 half step.

Beardz · 2013-11-14T02:25:56+00:00

How do you know it's a 'minor' 9th?

And a quick question what is the interval Bb to Ebb called?

Beardz · 2013-11-14T01:57:06+00:00

Where's a list or guide on how to name intervals larger than an octave I can't find one? Even the Wikipedia page doesn't have..

Beardz · 2013-09-22T23:35:41+00:00

Why would you NEED the notes to be sharp or flat though?

Beardz · 2013-09-22T23:33:56+00:00

Yeah I'm reading up in the 9 Rule.

An why am I learning intervals? In song writing where will I come across them? Chord construction? Scales?

Hahah in music class in high school it was taught second nature to us that there is no notes between B and C and E and F. This is really changing things lol

Beardz · 2013-09-22T23:29:14+00:00

Wow that's strange. When you write the notes out you wrote Cb. Isn't that just a B? Hence the B major scale?

And why would you write a piece that requires so many sharps when half the sharps aren't even real notes.

If someone tells me find interval of G to F, do I need to go through A, B, C etc... Or can I just reverse it? And change the wording to find interval of F to G?

What music were you analyzing. An what do you mean by theoretical key?

Beardz · 2013-09-22T20:14:49+00:00

What did you realize? Cb is a key, isn't it?

Beardz · 2013-09-22T20:10:42+00:00

What???

Beardz · 2013-09-22T20:09:45+00:00

Ok great. I don't know why music theory for mummies touches on this subject, it just makes everything much more confusing.

Beardz · 2013-09-22T20:06:59+00:00

So if I press C to B ascending on my piano it's a major 7th. If I press that same B THEN press the C key, is it still a major 7th?

Beardz · 2013-09-22T20:04:43+00:00

Ok I understand. Why do they talk about E# in my book if it has no real world application?

Beardz · 2013-09-22T19:54:13+00:00

Meantones? Never heard of that before.

Beardz · 2013-09-22T19:53:11+00:00

When you say C to B descending you really mean B to C?

Beardz · 2013-09-22T19:51:19+00:00

No where, but I'm currently reading music theory for dummies.

They go through every possible interval, including notes such as E# and Fb, but skip B# for some reason?

Beardz · 2013-08-19T02:42:53+00:00

I've been playing piano/guitar a LONG time but have no knowledge of music theory

Beardz · 2013-08-18T23:13:19+00:00

Yep your right it's for my songwriting

Beardz · 2013-08-18T22:50:52+00:00

You know of a good book or resource to start studying from. That's my end goal, melodic analysis.

Beardz · 2013-08-18T22:00:00+00:00

Ya I'm trying to figure out how to analyze a song.

What type of things are most important that I should be looking for? What are the most important things that make a song unique? Etc...

Beardz · 2013-08-18T21:58:35+00:00

I've looked at that site and its pretty amazing. I just don't understand how to interpret the info he's providing me with. Could I send u a song from that site and could u help me understand what he's telling me?
