The following notes are all third intervals:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C-E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\"

are encompassed.<\/p>\n<h3>Major Third Intervals<\/h3>\n<p>The relationship between the first and third tones of the major scale produces a major third interval.<\/p>\n<p>For example, using any major scale (let&#8217;s say the C major scale):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\"

by a half-step produces a minor third interval. It&#8217;s as easy as lowering the upper note of the interval by a half-step.<\/p>\n<p>For example, C-E is a major third interval:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;if we lower E by a half-step (to Eb):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;this produces C-Eb (a minor third interval):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Attention:<\/strong> While lowering the upper note of an interval, endeavor to stick to the same alphabet letter. Notice that we lowered E to Eb and not E to D#. Lowering E to D# changes the alphabet letter and that is wrong.<\/p>\n<p>If you take any other major third interval that you&#8217;re familiar with (for example E-G#):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,Gs,,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and you lower the G# by a half-step (to G):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;you get yourself a minor third interval (E-G):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Here Are All The Minor Third Intervals&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>C minor third:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC# minor third:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Cs,E,,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nD minor third:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nEb minor third:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,Gb,,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nE minor third:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nF minor third:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,Ab,,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nF# minor third:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,A,,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nG minor third:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,Bb,,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nG# minor third:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gs,B,,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nA minor third:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,C,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nBb minor third:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,Db,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nB minor third:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,D,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Seventh Chords = Third Intervals And The Circle Of Fifths Chart<\/h2>\n<p>Using the third intervals that we already reviewed and the circle of fifths chart:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/circleoffiths1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9643\" width=\"300\" height=\"320\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;you can form major and minor seventh chords.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to see how that works?
