Intervals Worksheet – Level 2
Write the full interval name for each pair of notes, for example M3, m6 or P5. Count the letter distance first for the number, then count semitones for the quality. Some notes have sharps or flats. Check your answers with the answer key.

Goal
Name intervals exactly, with number and quality, the way they are used to describe scales and chords.
How to practise
Use the semitone counts:
| Interval | Semitones |
|---|---|
| m2 / M2 | 1 / 2 |
| m3 / M3 | 3 / 4 |
| P4 | 5 |
| Tritone | 6 |
| P5 | 7 |
| m6 / M6 | 8 / 9 |
| m7 / M7 | 10 / 11 |
| P8 | 12 |
- A faster method: imagine the major scale of the lower note. If the upper note is in that scale, the interval is major (2, 3, 6, 7) or perfect (4, 5, 8). One semitone smaller than major is minor.
- Do half the sheet per session and check each half immediately.
Self-check
Compare with the key. If you get the number right but the quality wrong, practise counting semitones on the piano notes chart.
Next steps
Revisit the intervals lesson, train your ear on the same intervals with the ear trainer, and then try intervals level 3 with augmented and diminished intervals.
