In music, an interval is the distance in pitch between two tones. To get a sense of the interval between two notes, move from one note to another to check the interval.
  You may have seen the following sheet music, but there is not much point in just playing it. I added a fermata to the second note of each measure, but please practice listening carefully to these notes and matching the interval.



  Since the purpose is to get a sense of the interval, you can practice the first measure several times, and once you get the semitone interval right, you can practice the next note (major second), and once that's right, you can practice the next one, and so on.
  It is also good practice to leave time between each note and sing the next note in your head (or actually sing it) before playing.



In the score below, instead of playing the first fermata on an instrument, you can sing it in your head and then play the next fermata.



  Transpose this pattern and practice with different notes.
  You can find interval practice scores in all keys in "Basic Practice Before rehearsal" on the Score Storage.
