Interval number first, then quality
To find an interval number, count the letter names from the lower note to the upper note, including both. C up to E is C, D, E, so it is a third. On the staff, line to line and space to space make odd numbers, such as thirds and fifths, while line to space makes even numbers.
Quality comes next. If the upper note belongs to the major scale of the lower note, the interval is major (2nds, 3rds, 6ths, 7ths) or perfect (unisons, 4ths, 5ths, octaves). A half step (semitone) smaller than major is minor, a half step smaller than perfect is diminished, and a half step larger than major or perfect is augmented.
Choose counting, diatonic, or chromatic practice
Counting pages ask only for the interval number, unison through octave, so beginners can focus on reading the staff. Diatonic pages keep both notes inside a chosen key, which connects intervals to scales students already know. Chromatic pages include every quality, with doubly augmented and doubly diminished intervals available for advanced students.
For each level, students can name the interval, draw the missing note above or below a given note, or complete a mixed page. Generate a fresh version with the same settings when a class needs another attempt.

Frequently asked questions
How do you find the number of an interval?
Count the letter names from the lower note to the upper note, including both. C to G is C, D, E, F, G, so it is a fifth.
Which intervals are perfect and which are major or minor?
Unisons, fourths, fifths, and octaves are perfect. Seconds, thirds, sixths, and sevenths are major or minor. Any interval can also be augmented or diminished.
Can students draw intervals as well as identify them?
Yes. Choose identification, drawing above, drawing below, or a mixed page. Each version includes a matching teacher answer key.
Are these interval worksheets suitable for beginners?
Yes. Start with counting pages that ask only for the interval number, then move to diatonic and chromatic pages when students know their major scales.
