(3.3) Intervals and Degrees

Every musical chord is made up of a set of notes played together, based on a pattern of intervals from the root note of the chord. We will see how this works in the next topic.

The intervals in a chord are referred to with the special term degrees. Degrees names are very similar to interval names, but use a more convenient shorthand notation.

Listed below are the symbols and names of the degrees, and their equivalent interval names and sizes (in semitones).
