Below is a table of basic musical intervals. In addition to the name of the interval and the number of halftones you will find a short name and an example built on C note. After that, intervals are grouped into perfect consonances, imperfect consonances and dissonances.
| Perfect consonances | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Interval name | Number of semitones | Short name | Example |
| perfect unison | 0 | P1 | c-c |
| perfect fourth | 5 | P4 | c-f |
| perfect fifth | 7 | P5 | c-g |
| perfect octave | 12 | P8 | c-c1 |
| Imperfect consonances | |||
| Interval name | Number of semitones | Short name | Example |
| minor third | 3 | m3 | c-d# |
| major third | 4 | M3 | c-e |
| minor sixth | 8 | m6 | c-g# |
| major sixth | 9 | M6 | c-a |
| minor tenth | 15 | m10 | c-d1# |
| major tenth | 16 | M10 | c-e1 |
| minor thirteenth | 20 | m13 | c-g1# |
| major thirtheenth | 21 | M13 | c-a1 |
