Definition: An interval may refer to:
- the audible “distance” between two pitches; the range between notes on the staff.
The simplest intervals include half steps and whole steps; a half step (or semitone) being the smallest interval in modern Western scales. An octave is a large interval that separates two of the same notes (two C’s, two D’s, etc.) - a two-note chord.
