Minor 2nds

An Interval is a measurement of the musical distance between two notes. Intervals can be thought of as musical inches.

A Minor 2nd is the smallest interval in our musical system.

It is the distance from one note to the nearest neighboring note.

Minor 2nds also go by the following names:

• Half Step
• Semitone
• Flat 2 (written "b2")

On the piano it is the distance from one key to it's nearest neighbor, regardless of whether the neighbor is a white key or a black key.

On the guitar it is the distance from one fret to the next adjacent fret, or a fret which produces the same sound.

Welcome to UltraMusician!

In this lesson, you will do the same thing as before but with the Question and Answer reversed.

You will see a note lit up on the instrument, then write it on the staff.

Please press the Exercise button below.

In the next lesson you will read a note in music notation, then play it on your instrument.

Please press the Exercise button below.

Now you will do the same lesson but in reverse.

You will be given the name of a note, then you will write it using the notation tool.

Now we will learn the basics of reading music. The five lines that everything rests on are called the Staff.

What makes UltraMusician so amazing is that you learn each concept in several different ways.

This builds connections in your brain and actually makes you smarter.

For example, in the next lesson the Question and Answer will be reversed.
