The document discusses finding relative major and minor keys by moving up or down three half steps. It provides examples of finding the relative minor of G major (E minor) and relative major of b minor (D major). It also discusses finding intervals like major seconds, minor seconds, major thirds, minor thirds, and perfect fourths and fifths by counting half steps upward from a given note on a musical staff. It emphasizes the importance of knowing the keyboard, building major scales, and distinguishing between whole and half steps.

2. Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G, A, Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G, A, Bb
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

3. Using half steps to find the relative
major or minor key: To find the
relative minor key, go to the left or
down 3 half steps. To find the relative
major key, go to the right or up 3 half
steps.

4. Let’s find the relative minor key for G Major. Go back
or to the left three half steps and the note is e. E minor
is the relative Minor for G major. Let’s find the relative
major key for b minor. Go to the right or forward 3 half
steps and the relative Major is D Major

5. Find the relative minor keys for A, Db,
and E major. (Left)
Find the relative major keys for g, eb,
and b (Right)

6. Find the Major Second above F. Major
second is another name for whole step,
so find the whole step above F. Find
the minor second above F. Minor
second is another name for half step, so
find the half step above f

7. Finding minor and major thirds. Minor
3rd is 3 half steps up from the note and
Major third is 4 half steps up (right).
Another way to find a major third is to
build the major scale and go to the third
note. To find the m3, go to the third note
and lower it one half step

8. To find a Perfect Fourth go up or to the
right 5 half steps. Another way to find
a P4 is to build the major scale and go
to the fourth note.
Find the minor third, Major third, and
perfect 4th above G

9. To find a P5, go to the right
7 half steps. Another way
to find a P5 is to build the
major scale and go to the
fifth note. Find a P5 above
C, D, and Eb

10. Our perfect intervals are the perfect
unison, perfect 4th, perfect 5th, and
perfect octave

11. Perfect Octave is from one note to the
very next note of the same letter above
or below

12. *Know your keyboard and
know how to build your
major scales-Know the
difference between a whole
and a half step and how to
find them, up or down, left or
right
