However, understanding the relationship between major and minor intervals will help you create a mental link that will associate all major intervals with minor intervals and vice-versa.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Why Are Major And Minor Intervals Important?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Let me show you one of the reasons why major and minor intervals cannot be ignored; just in case you&#8217;re wondering why we have to learn about major and minor intervals.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/major-triad-chord-cheat-sheet\">major triad<\/a> can be broken down into major and minor intervals. For example, the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=339999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be broken down into two intervals:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C-E (a major third interval):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,,&amp;color=339999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nE-G (a minor third interval):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,,&amp;color=339999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The first interval is a major interval and the second one is a minor interval.<\/p>\n<p>So, due to the importance of intervals in the study of chords and a variety of other reasons, we&#8217;ll be looking at the link between major and minor intervals in this lesson.<\/p>\n<h2><em>&#8220;What Are Major And Minor Intervals?&#8221;<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>Due to the fact that major intervals are diatonic intervals, I&#8217;ll prefer we start off with a brief discussion on diatonic intervals.<\/p>\n<h3>Quick Insights On Diatonic Intervals<\/h3>\n<p>Diatonic intervals are intervals that are formed between the first tone and other tones of the same major scale.

Before we go any further, let&#8217;s throw light on the concept of inversion just to refresh your mind on it.<\/p>\n<h3>The Concept Of The Inversion Of Intervals<\/h3>\n<p>The inversion of an interval is simply the change of the position of the notes of an interval. There are basically two notes, the lower note and the upper note.<\/p>\n<p>Using the C major third (C-E) as a reference:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,,&amp;color=339999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;we have two notes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C (as the lower note):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&amp;color=339999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nE (as the upper note):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,,&amp;color=339999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The change of the position of the notes creates an inversion of the interval. If E becomes the lower note and C the upper note, we&#8217;ll have E-C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,C,&amp;color=339999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is an inversion of the given interval (C-E).<\/p>\n<p>Every other interval can be inverted this way.<\/p>\n<h3>The Inversion Of Major And Minor Intervals<\/h3>\n<p>When a major interval is inverted, what is produced is a minor interval. I&#8217;ll give you a practical demonstration right away:<\/p>\n<p>The inversion of C-E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,,&amp;color=339999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is a major third interval, produces E-C (a minor sixth interval):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,C,&amp;color=339999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nYou can clearly see how the quality of the major interval changed after inversion. That&#8217;s exactly how it works for all major intervals.<\/p>\n<p>Inverting the major sixth interval (C-A):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,A,,&amp;color=339999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;changes it to a minor third interval (A-C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,C,&amp;color=339999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe same thing is applicable to C-B (a major seventh interval):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,B,,&amp;color=339999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;that changes to B-C (a minor second interval):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,C,&amp;color=339999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Let&#8217;s Check Out Minor Intervals Too&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The inversion of any of the minor intervals produces a major interval.<\/p>\n<p>C-Db:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Db,,&amp;color=339999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a minor second interval. However, its quality changes from minor to major when inverted to Db-C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,C,&amp;color=339999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nKeep in mind that &#8220;Db-C&#8221; is a major seventh interval.<\/p>\n<p>The inversion of the minor sixth interval between C and Ab:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Ab,,&amp;color=339999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces a major third interval (Ab-C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ab,C,&amp;color=339999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;So, Where Do Major And Minor Intervals Meet?&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Major and minor intervals are related by inversion. The inversion of a major interval produces a minor interval and vice-versa.<\/p>\n<p>A clear understanding of this relationship will take away the disparity between major and minor intervals; so you can see them as two sides of the same coin.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>From what we&#8217;ve learned in this blog, it&#8217;s safe to say that all major intervals are related to minor intervals (and vice-versa) by inversion.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also important to know that the size of an interval also changes when inverted and we&#8217;ll be focusing on that in a subsequent
