Types of  intervals

• Melodic: if the two notes sound one after another (horizontal).
• Harmonic: if the two notes sound simultaneously (vertical).
• Ascending: from a low note to a high note.
• Descending: from a high note to a low note.
• Step: are intervals between consecutive scale degrees (e.g. C-D or D-E)
• Skip: are intervals between non consecutive scale degrees (e.g. C-E, F-B)
