The most common reason being its application in chord progressions.<\/p>\n<p>It is because of the importance of the circle of fourths or fifths that we&#8217;re dedicating this lesson to it. But before we go into that, let&#8217;s discuss briefly on perfect intervals.<\/p>\n<h2><em><strong>&#8220;What Are Perfect Intervals?&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<p>One of the properties of an interval is inversion. An interval is said to be inverted when the order of the notes changes. For example, when the interval C and A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,A,,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is played or spelled in such a way the A comes before C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,C,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;an inversion is produced.<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, the inversion of C and A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,A,,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is A and C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,C,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe inversion of an interval changes its quantity and quality. For example, C and A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,A,,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a major interval, while A and C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,C,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a minor interval.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Pay Attention To This&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There are certain intervals that don&#8217;t change their quality when inverted and they are described as perfect intervals. When a perfect interval is inverted, it remains a perfect interval.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Major changes to minor<\/p>\n<p>Minor changes to major<\/p>\n<p>Augmented changes to diminished<\/p>\n<p>Diminished changes to augmented<\/p>\n<p><strong>Perfect remains perfect<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, perfect intervals are unique because when they are inverted they still remain perfect. Their consistence explains why they are said to be perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Perfect intervals include (but is not limited to):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The perfect unison<\/p>\n<p>The perfect fourth<\/p>\n<p>The perfect fifth<\/p>\n<p>The perfect octave<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, we&#8217;ll be focusing on the perfect fourth and perfect fifth intervals briefly before we move on.<\/p>\n<h3>Perfect Fourth And Perfect Fifth Intervals<\/h3>\n<p><em>&#8220;Check Out All The Perfect Fourth Intervals On The Keyboard&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>C-F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,F,,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nDb-Gb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,Gb,,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nD-G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,G,,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nEb-Ab:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,Ab,,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nE-A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,A,,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nF-Bb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,Bb,,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nGb-Cb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gb,Cb,,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nG-C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,C,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAb-Db:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ab,Db,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nA-D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,D,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nBb-Eb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,Eb,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nB-E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,E,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Check Out All The Perfect Fifth Intervals On The Keyboard&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n[thrive_lead_lock id=&#8217;11374&#8242;]<br \/>\nC-G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,G,,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nDb-Ab:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,Ab,,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nD-A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,A,,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nEb-Bb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,Bb,,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nE-B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,B,,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nF-C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,C,,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nGb-Db:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gb,Db,,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nG-D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,D,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAb-Eb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ab,Eb,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nA-E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,E,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nBb-F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,F,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nB-Fs:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,Fs,&amp;color=F4A460&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n[\/thrive_lead_lock]<\/p>\n<h2>The Circle Of Fourths And Fifths &#8211;
