Intervals Walkthrough
An introduction to semitones & octaves
A guided introduction to semitones, octaves, and how intervals work on your instrument and in NoSheet. Takes ~2 minutes.
Takeaways
Neighbouring notes are one semitone apart — the smallest step
An interval is the gap between two notes, and each has its own character — a semitone sounds rough, a 5th smooth, the octave most consonant
Notes an octave apart share the same name — and the same color in NoSheet; those same 12 notes repeat in every octave
