What about these intervals? Are these intervals major?

Are these intervals major ones?

The lower note in these 4 intervals is G, so we must go by the scale of G major. The answers are:

Yes, because E is in the scale of G major.

No, because B flat is not in the scale of G major.

Yes, because A is in the scale of G major.

No, because the scale of G major requires an F sharp, not an F natural.

Since we are labelling perfect and major intervals according to the major scale of the bottom note, it should follow that all intervals between the tonic and all other notes of a major scale are either perfect or major .

Here are the intervals between C and the notes of its major scale. As we’ve seen, unison, fourth, fifth, and octave are perfect, while the second, third, sixth, and seventh are major.
