In the next lesson you will hear either a Perfect 4th or a Perfect 5th played harmonically as a chord and you will write it in music notation.
Here are examples of both a Perfect 4th, and a Perfect 5th played harmonically.
Perfect 4th – Chord | |
Perfect 5th – Chord |
Remember that 4ths and 5ths sound similar because they are inversions.
That means if you turn a Perfect 4th upside down, you get a Perfect 5th.
If you have trouble hearing the difference between the two, imagine the notes are being played one at a time.
