A diminshed interval occurs when a perfect or minor interval is made a semitone smaller. The chart below shows all the intervals available up to an octave starting on the note C. Perfect Intervals Major Intervals Minor Intervals Augmented Intervals Diminished Intervals `5rr5 Try to recognise the intervals below. Use the keyboard to help you. It may help to work out the number of semitones in each interval and always include the notes you start and finish on! `5 55 w `5 55 w `5r 5 `5 55 w w `5r 5 E w `5r 5 Dw `5r 5 E w `5 55 Ew `5 55 D w `5 55 Ew w `5 55 w `5 55 w `5 55 E w `5 55 D w `5 55 G w `5 55 w w `5 55 w w `5 55 E w w `5 55 D w `5 55 G w w G A B C D E F G A B C D E `5 55 `5r 5 `5 55 `5 55 w w w w D w w D w `5 55 `5 55 D w w E ` 5 `5 55 `5 55 w w w www.keynoteseducation.com © 2004 Keynotes Education Crossgate Cornwall PL15 9SX This sheet may be printed from a personal computer and/or photocopied for educational use within the purchasing establishment 15

A chromatic scale can go up or down and start on any note. Usually when writing a chromatic scale the notes are sharpened on the way up and flattened on the way down. The word chromatic actually means coloured and the scale is often used to add colour in a piece or to demonstrate a performer’s technique.

CHROMATIC SCALES<br />
If you start on the note C and play all the notes from C up to the C an octave above you get<br />
a pattern of twelve semitones, this is called a chromatic scale. A chromatic scale can go up<br />
or down and start on any note. Usually when writing a chromatic scale the notes are sharpened<br />
on the way up and flattened on the way down. The word chromatic actually means coloured<br />
and the scale is often used to add colour in a piece or to demonstrate a performer’s technique.<br />
It was particularly popular during the Romantic period.<br />
