# <center> Happy day, dear music lover! :D </center> 


<p><div class="text-justify"><p> Today I want to talk to you about the musical intervals. If you are a musician, then you should know that these will help you to measure the distances between 2 tones when you want to make a chord construction or when you want to do a melodic analysis, etc… </p></div></p>

<p><div class="text-justify"><p> These intervals are divided into ascending (when the second note is higher than the first) and descending (when the second note is lower than the first). In this post I'm going to tell you about the ascenders. </p></div></p>

<p><div class="text-justify"><p> The intervals can be taken from any musical note, this time, in the graphic examples I'm going to show you, I used the base note "C".</p></div></p>

<p><div class="text-justify"><p> When my singing teacher mentioned the subject of intervals to me, she told me that I had to learn them by heart and identify them. </p></div></p>

<p><div class="text-justify"><p> At first I found it difficult to learn them. Every time I went to class and she'd ask me, I was wrong. Then I started to investigate and found that the easiest way to learn the intervals is to associate them with songs. </p></div></p>

<p><div class="text-justify"><p> After that, when the teacher reevaluated me, <b> I didn't fail anymore! </b> </p></div></p>

<p><div class="text-justify"><p> I'm happy to share my tips with you, that's why I took the time to edit in <b> Audacity </b> and upload to <b>SoundCloud </b> some audios where you can identify and associate the intervals with known songs. </p></div></p>

<p><div class="text-justify"><p> Ascending intervals are measured by tones and midtones and are classified in this way:</p></div></p>

# •	Minor Second, Ascending (m2): Half tone.
