• PERFECT = P (perfect5 or P5)
• MAJOR = maj or M (maj7 or M7)
• MINOR = min or m or - (min7 or m3 or -7)

All of the above are examples of DIATONIC. This means that they are all within the key signature of the music with no added sharps or flats.

All of these examples are in the key of C major - no sharps or flats. Each interval is diatonic - no sharps or flats.

Every interval has its own unique quality or sound. They can be either:

• PERFECT
• MAJOR
• MINOR
• AUGMENTED or AUG
• DIMINISHED or DIM
