3rd grade: Music Theory Test on Monday, February 13th.

Hi 3rd graders :-)

Next Monday we will have a test on Semitones , Tones and 2nd intervals.

You will be asked to identify the semitones as per type (chromatic or diatonic) and to find out whether the interval given is a tone or not.

You will also be asked questions such as "what is an interval" or "how many semitones are there in a 2nd Augmented interval".

Some tips for your study:

Chromatic Semitones are the semitones between 2 notes that their name is the same (for example: Do - DoSharp)

Diatonic Semitones are these between 2 notes with a different name (for example: Do - Re flat)

Tones are consisted of two semitones.

Interval is the distance between two notes. (for example Do-Sol: 4th interval)

We identify the intervals as per size and type.
Size is how big the interval is  (for example: Do-Mi is a 3rd interval, Re-La is a 5th interval)
Type is how many semitones are there in the interval (for example Mi - Fa is a minor because there is only one semitone)

Type of 2nd intervals:

minor: 1 Semitone
Major: 2 semitones
Augmented: 3 semitones
