Thru Theory: Breezin

| Interval | Lines/Spaces Apart | Visual Rule | |----------|---------------------|--------------| | 2nd | Adjacent line/space | "Next door neighbors" | | 3rd | One line/space in between | "Same type" (both lines or both spaces) | | 4th | Two lines/spaces in between | "Opposite type, one gap" | | 5th | Three lines/spaces in between | "Same type, two gaps" | | Octave | Seven lines/spaces apart | "Same type, far apart" |

| Quality | 3rd (bottom to middle) | 3rd (middle to top) | Visual Clue | |---------|----------------------|-------------------|--------------| | Major | Major (4 half steps) | Minor (3 half steps) | Both thirds look the same? No – BTT uses key sig. Actually, visual: on staff, all lines or all spaces but middle note may have accidental. | | Minor | Minor (3 half steps) | Major (4 half steps) | | | Diminished | Minor | Minor | "Squeezed" look – both small thirds | | Augmented | Major | Major | "Stretched" look – both large thirds | breezin thru theory

Good luck, and happy breezin’!
