Everything correct at the test. Did it in my head.

why are we counting the note circle this time all in semitones when before when looking at the major scales we used TTSTTTS? It works out exactly the same. It seems like we are unnecessarily making it more complicated, or I am missing something?

Hello @Lasher and welcome to the community.
The Note Circle contains all notes.

If you are seeking intervals from varying start notes you need to have at your disposal the note circle so you can find your starting position and count the required interval to your target note. And the note circle must be shown with semitones otherwise some notes would be omitted.
I hope that make sense.

and major and minor are paired as are perfects and diminished while augmented applies universally?

Could you please rephrase your question? What you you mean by “major and minor are paired as are perfects and diminished”?

meaning a major is the STANDARD and if we change it for a given scale it becomes minor NOT diminished (in name only) therefore major and minors are paired or grouped together for the same sets of notes; the 2, 3, 6 and 7’s exclusively so if we diminish a 2nd or move one direction counter clockwise from the STANDARD it is called a minor and so on…

This may seem like a silly question, but I’m not sure what the questions themselves mean. What is “A Perfect 5th above C”? Does that mean the next interval up from a C in the major scale?

No, it does not mean the next interval up from C :slightly_smiling_face: Take another look at the lesson text. It seems, there are two ways to find an answer to your question:

a) Recall how many semitones you need to count in order to identify the perfect 5th = seven semitones. Now visualize the note circle, locate C and count exactly seven semitones up from C → answer = G

b) Recall the C major scale and identify the fifth → answer = G

@JokuMuu has given the help you need.

Starting note = C.
Interval = 5th.
Direction (default unless otherwise stated) = ascending.
