Minor 3rds

To do this tutorial you need to know what an interval is.

Summary

Two notes are a minor 3rd apart if they have exactly 2 other notes between them.

  • So C-Eb is a minor 3rd because C and Eb have Db and D between them,
  • and D-F is a minor 3rd because D and F have Eb and E between them.

To do

Test yourself on minor 3rds, remembering to include some that start on black notes.
