Types of Musical Intervals: [blank_start]Major[blank_end]: only ever used to describe 2nds, 3rds, 6ths and 7ths. [blank_start]Minor[blank_end]: a major interval minus one step- achieved by raising the bottom note or lowering the top note. [blank_start]Augmented[blank_end]: when a major or perfect interval is made one step larger, but the interval number doesn't change. [blank_start]Diminished[blank_end]: when a minor or perfect interval is made one step smaller, but the interval number doesn't change. [blank_start]Perfect[blank_end]: an '8th', a full octave's difference. [blank_start]Unison[blank_end]: The same note played again!

What is the symbol on the left and what does it mean?

A [blank_start]major[blank_end] chord is made up of the root and the [blank_start]major[blank_end] third and perfect [blank_start]fifth[blank_end] above this root. These chords are often said to sound 'happy'. A minor chord is comprised of a root, [blank_start]minor[blank_end] third and [blank_start]perfect[blank_end] fifth. When a chord has these three notes alone, it’s called a minor [blank_start]triad[blank_end]. These are said to sound sad. A [blank_start]dominant[blank_end] or [blank_start]dominant[blank_end] [blank_start]seventh[blank_end] chord is composed of a root, [blank_start]major[blank_end] third, perfect fifth and [blank_start]minor[blank_end] [blank_start]seventh[blank_end]. It can also be viewed as a [blank_start]major triad[blank_end] with an additional minor seventh. These tend to sound bluesy. [blank_start]Augmented[blank_end] chord: a chord consisting of two major [blank_start]thirds[blank_end] (also called an [blank_start]augmented[blank_end] [blank_start]fifth[blank_end]). [blank_start]Diminished[blank_end] chord- three [blank_start]minor[blank_end] thirds above the root. Unstable sound quality. [blank_start]Suspended[blank_end] chord: The major or minor [blank_start]third[blank_end] is omitted, replaced by a perfect fourth or major second.
