Recognizing Intervals

There is a good site on the internet for various music theory drills. A link to its drills is found at the bottom of this page. Perhaps you already have it bookmarked. We are merely visiting the site for the practice drills.

When you go to the site, you will find a "Settings" button for setting up the drill to meet your present needs. Following Lesson 5, I recommend you use the following settings:

Identify Intervals on Staff

No Accidentals on Starting Note

Ask Only General Interval

Ascending and Descending Intervals

Check all intervals (probably the default)

If you feel up to a challenge, you might change "Ask Only General Interval" to "Any Type of Interval" and select "Ascending Intervals Only." Because the lower note will never have an accidental, you can determine the quality of the interval by first ignoring the upper accidental (if any), and then determining how the size of the interval changes by putting the accidental back in. If all else fails, you can always select the button "Give Up."
