b. Share and articulate the difference between melodic and harmonic
interval.
c. Differentiate correctly the intervals of the sets of notes on the staff.
II. Subject Matter

a. Topic: Intervals
b. Reference/s: Music and Arts for Fun, pp.36-39 by Vivian R. Lugue, Maria
Socorro L. Romabiles
c. Materials: Cardboard, cartolina, pencil, coupon bond
III. Procedure
TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY
A. Preliminary Activities
a. Prayer
“Before we start our lesson for today,

let us pray first. Children kindly stand
up, close your eyes, bow your head
and feel the presence of our Lord.”
(Amen)
b. Greeting
“Okay, a wonderful and pleasant

morning class!” “Good Morning teacher!”
“So,how are you today class?” “We’re fine, Teacher!”
“That’s good to hear class. But before

you sit let us all sing and dance the
song “Kung Ikaw ay Masaya” So Let’s
start!”
“Thank you class, you may now take

your seats.” “Thank you, teacher!”
c. Checking of Attendance
“Now let us check who are the

absentees for today. Let’s start with
row 1.” “ Teacher, I’m to say that there
are no absents in row 1!”
“Very good, let’s clap our hands for

row 1. How about in row 2?” “Good morning Teacher, I’m
happy to say that we are all
present in row 2.”
“Excellent. Let us all clap our hands

for row 2. How about in row 3?”
“I’m glad to say that nobody is
absent in my row.”
“That’s good to hear row 3.”
“I’m glad to hear that everyone is
present today. Now children, let’s do
the Good Job Clap.”
“Ready, start!”
(Pupils do the Good Job Clap)
d. Review
“So for today’s morning, let’s have a

brief recap about the lesson we
tackled last meeting.”
“Do you still remember our topic last

meeting, class?” “Yes, teacher!”
“What is it all about, class?”

(Pupils raise their hands)
“Yes Alex, share your knowledge.”

“Teacher, our topic is all about
Melodic Contour.”
“Very Good Alex! Our last topic is all
about Melodic Contour”
“But before we go to melodic contour,
can someone define what is Melody,
Angel?” “Melody is a musical line that is
made up of series of tones and
pitches.
Its characteristics include range,
shape, and movement.”
Excellent Angel! Melody is a musical line

that is made up of a series of tones and
pitches. Its characteristics include range,
shape, and movement”
How about countour, Rain?”
“Contour is a sequence of
motions between notes of a
melody.”
“Correct Rain! Contour is a sequence

of motions between notes of a
melody”
“Now what is Melodic Contour,
“Melodic contour is the direction
Grace?
and tonal movement of the
melody.”
“Yes correct Grace! Melodic contour is

the direction and tonal movement of
the melody.”
“How about when notes are moving

up or down the staff without skipping a
line or space. The movement said to
be, Zia?” “The movement is said to be in a
stepwise movement, teacher!”
“Very good, Zia! The movement is

said to be in a stepwise movement”
“How about when notes move in a

wider distance going up or down the
staff. The movement said to be, “The movement said to be in a
George?” skipwise movement, teacher!”
“Great job, George! The movement

said to be in a skipwise movement”
“Now, did anyone of you still

remember the different note
movements in Melodic Contour, “The different note movements
Macy?” in Melodic contour are Notes in
ascending and stepwise
movement, Notes in descending
and stepwise movement, Notes
that moves in upward skips,
Notes that move in downward
skips, lastly the Repeated
movement/ Stationary, teacher!.”
“Well said, Macy. The different note

movements in Melodic contour are
Notes in ascending and stepwise
movement, Notes in descending and
stepwise movement, Notes that
moves in upward skips, Notes that
move in downward skips, lastly the
Repeated movement/ Stationary”
“I hope class you all still recall our

lesson last meeting so we can now
move on to another topic.”
B. Presentation of the Lesson
a. Motivation
“Class, I have a picture here.”
“Now students, can someone share to

“I see a staff, teacher”
our class what do you see and
observe in the picture, Gia?”
“Yes very good! There is a staff on a

picture” “a G-clef, and circles that the
others are close to each other
“How about Mia?”
and the others has a distance
from the other one.”
“Yes,thre is a G-clef, and circles that

the others are close to each other and
the others has a distance from the
other one. “The circles are in a horizontal
and vertical directions , teacher.”
“ How about the other? Gelai?”
“Very well said, Gelai! There is a

circles that are in a horizontal and
vertical directions. ”
“All your answers are correct, and

they are all connected to our lesson
for today.
“Our lesson for this day is all about

the Intervals.
b. Unlocking difficulties
Melodic Interval - Play notes

separately, one after another.
Harmonic Interval - Plays two

notes together, at the same time.
Interval - Is the distance between two

notes.
Octave - An interval whose higher

note has a sound-wave frequency of
vibration twice that of its lower note
Unison - The distance between the

two identical notes .
C. Lesson Proper
“A fresh lesson will begin this morning. “Yes, teacher!”

We’re going to explore the interval, the
kinds of it and how it works on the staff.”
“Before that, class do you want to hear

some music?”
“Now let’s all listen to the different piece

“I hear the different intervals that
of music.”
performed in each of every piece
(Plays the music) of music.”
“Class, what you notice while you’re

listening?”
“Very good! That’s correct.”
“Now what is interval?”

“INTERVAL
Interval is the distance between two
notes.“
“No, teacher.”
“Yes, teacher!”
“Are you familiar with the interval, class?”
“Maybe after our discussion, you’ll have a

better idea of what is interval is, okay?”
“Harmonic and Melodic Interval,

“The interval of notes maybe harmonic or
melodic, this are the 2 kinds of interval.” teacher!”
“Again class, what are the 2 intervals,

May?”
“Very Good May! We have the Harmonic

and Melodic Interval.”
“Now, let’s start in melodic interval. This

is happens when notes are played in
succession, one after the other, or are
horizontally arranged on the staff.
“Next we have the Harmonic Interval, it

occurs if the notes are played at the
same time or are vertically arranged on
the staff.”
“Melodic interval happens when

notes are played in succession,
it is arranged horizontally on the
staff, teacher!.”
“Now class anyone of you tell me what is
melodic interval, Darwin?”
“Harmonic interval occurs if two

notes are played at the same
“Very good Darwin! time or vertically arranged on the
staff, teacher!”
‘”How about the harmonic interval,
Cheska?”
“Very good, Cheska!”

“Again when we say Melodic interval it is
arranged horizontally on the staff, it is ‘Yes, teacher!”
between two notes consecutively. When
we say Harmonic interval it is arranged
vertically on the staff and occurs two
notes played at the same time.”
‘Are we clear class?”
FINDING THE DISTANCE

“Now, let’s move to the distance.”
“To find the distance, two notes are from
each other. Count the lines and spaces
on the staff separating the two notes.
Including the line or spaces the first note
is on.”
“If we have this F and C in the treble clef,

we will count the F space as 1, the G line
as 2, the A space as 3, the B line as 4
and the C space as 5. So the distance
these notes from each other are a fifth.”
“Count the F space as 1, the G

line as 2, the A space as 3, the
B line as 4 and the C space as
5. So in total distance is 5th,
teacher ”
“So class why it become 5th yes, Carol?
“Yes Correct, we will count the F space

as 1, the G line as 2, the A space as 3,
the B line as 4 and the C space as 5. So
the distance of these notes is 5th.”
“Let’s do another example in bass clef

this time.”
“If we have this B and D. We will count

the B line as 1, the C space as 2 and the
D line as 3. So the distance of these two
“Count the B line as 1, the C

space as 2,and the D line as 3.
So that the distance in that note
notes from each other is a 3rd .” is 3rd.”
“Yes teacher, we’re here and we

are following our discussion.”
“In this example class, why it becomes
the distance equal to 3rd, yes Len?
“Correct, we count the B line as 1, the C

space as 2, and the D line as 3. So that
the distance in that note is 3rd.”
“Are you still all fine class? Are all of you

still following our discussion? ”
“Okay, thank you so much for that.”
TYPES OF INTERVAL
“Now let’s talk about the types of
Interval.”
“The types of interval can be described

with a number of different names.
Including major, minor, perfect,
augmented, and diminished.”
“ If you notice class, all of the names also

have a shorthand. In Major is a Capital “Major, Minor, Perfect,
“M”, in minor is a lower case “m”. In Augmented, and Diminished are
Perfect is a capital “P”, Augmented is a
the types of intervals, teacher.”
capital “A” or a “+” sign, and diminished is
shortened as “dim” or a small circle “0”.
“Class what are the types of Intervals

again, Yes Mara?”
“In Major is a Capital “M”,

minor is a lower case “m”.
Perfect is a capital “P”
Augmented is a capital
“A” or a “+” sign, and
diminished is shortened
as “dim” or a small circle
“0” are the shorthands of
them, teacher.”
“Very good! Mara. We have the Major,

Minor, Perfect, Augmented, and
Diminished and this we called a types of
interval.”
“Now what are their short hands, Cj?”
“Yes correct Cj, the shorthand in Major is

a Capital “M”, in minor is a lower case
“m”. In Perfect is a capital “P” In
Augmented is a capital “A” or a “+” sign,
“Yes, teacher”
and diminished is shortened as “dim” or

a small circle “0”.”
FINDING THE DISTANCES OF THE

INTERVALS
“Let’s take this C major Scale as an
example to find the distances of the
intervals between the tonic and the rest of
the scale degrees.”
“The first interval is from the tonic and the

tonic. You might think class that we would
call the distance a 1st , but it has a special
name. The distance between the two “Yes, teacher it was clear.”
identical notes is called unison.
“Next the distance between the C and D.

If we count the C line as 1 and the D
space as two, this is a distance of a 2nd.”
“Did you understand class?
“Okay let’s continue.”
“Next the distance between C and E line

is 1, D space is two, and E line is 3. So
this distance is a third.”

“Yes, teacher!”
“We can repeat this process all the way

up through the seventh scale degree
where the distance between C and B is 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. So we call this distance a
7th.
“Are we clear class?”
“Okay, Thank you. Let’ continue.”
“The last interval from low C to high C

also has a special name. This distance is
called a Octave. An octave is a distance
from one note to that same note name
either higher or lower on the staff.”
“This are the examples of an octave.”

“The Unison, 4th, 5th and octave,
teacher.”
“ The 2nd , 3rd, 6th, and 7th,

teacher.”
“Now that we know the distances, let’s
label the type for each of the intervals.”
“Are you still there class?”
“Okay, thank you for that. Let’s continue

our discussion.”
LABELING THE TYPE FOR EACH OF

THE INTERVALS
“Yes teacher”
“In any major scale, the unison, 4th, 5th

and octave are perfect.”
“and the rest of the intervals are major.”
“Now class what are considered as

perfect in any major scale, Yes Arwin?”
“Great Arwin! The Unison, 4th, 5th and

octave are the called perfect in any major
scale.
“How about, Drey. What are considered

as Major in any major scale?”
“Very Good Drey! We have 2nd , 3rd, 6th,

and 7th is the Major in any major scale.”
“So class, we have Perfect Unison, a

Major 2nd, a Major 3rd, a Perfect 4th, a
Perfect 5th, Major 6th, Major 7th, and a

Perfect Octave. This intervals will be the
same in any major scale.
“Are we all clear class?
“Okay let’s continue”
“Now let’s look at the Minor Scale”
“If you notice, the distances stay the

same. You can double-check by counting
the lines and spaces.However, some of
the types of the intervals will change. The
Unison, 4th , 5th and octave remain
perfect.”
“But the 3rd, 6th and 7th are now minor.

Because a minor interval is one-half step
smaller than a major interval.”
“This leaves the 2nd, stays a major second

because the number of half-steps in the
interval didn’t change from the major
scale to minor scale.
“So we have a Perfect Unison, a Major

2nd, a Minor 3rd, a Perfect 4th, a Perfect 5th,
a Minor 6th, a Minor 7th, and a Perfect
Octave. These intervals will be the same
in any natural minor scale.”
“If we compare the intervals of the major

and minor scales”
“None teacher”
“We can see the the 3rd, 6th, and 7th, are
the only intervals that change type from
major to minor. The rest of the intervals
are the same.”
“So what about augmented and

diminished intervals?”
“Well remember that minor intervals are

one-half step smaller than major
intervals.”
“It is the distance between two

notes, teacher.”
“And if we make a minor interval one – “The 2 intervals are Melodic

half step smaller it becomes diminished.” Interval and Harmonic Interval”
“The Major, Minor, Perfect,

Augmented, Perfect, and
Diminished, teacher.”
“ If we go back to the Original major

interval and make it one-half step larger it
becomes Augmented.”
“The Major as capital (M), Minor

is a lower case (m), Perfect is a
capital (P), Augmented as
capital (A) or a “+” sign, and
Diminished as (dim) or a small
circle (“0”), teacher.”
“For perfect intervals, it’s a little different. “Unison, Second, Third, Forth,
There is no minor version of a perfect Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Octave,
interval.” teacher.”
“The unison, 4th, 5th and Octave

“If we make the perfect interval one-half are Perfect Intervals while 2nd 3rd
step smaller it becomes diminished.” 6th and 7th are the major intervals
in major scale, teacher.”
“The 3rd, 6th, and 7th become

“ And if we make the perfect interval one- minor intervals, the unison, 4th,
half step larger and it becomes 5th, and 8th did not change and
augmented.” the 2 stays a major second,
teacher”
“Is that clear class? Are there any

questions or clarifications?”
“That’s good to hear, I hope you learn

and enjoy our class.”
D. Application/Synthesis
Encircle Me!
Direction:
 Encircle “ “ how many distance are
there in every intervals inside the
shape.
 Encircle wether if it is Harmonic
Interval draw a “ “ around the letter
“H” and if it is Melodic Interval draw a
“ “ around the letter “M”.
E. Generalization
“So class again, what is Interval?”

“Yes, Dar”
“Very Good, a simple as that. Interval is the

distance between two notes.”
“How about the 2 intervals? Yes Rey?”
“Great! The 2 intervals are Melodic Interval

and Harmonic Interval.”
“ Now class, enumerate the types of interval.

Yes Cris?”
“Yes well said Cris! The types of interval are

the Major, Minor, Perfect, Augmented, and
Diminished.”
“How about their shorthands”
“The Major as capital (M), Minor is a lower

case (m), Perfect is a capital (P), Augmented
as capital (A) or a “+” sign, and Diminished
as (dim) or a small circle (“0”).”
“What are the intervals within a C Major

Scale? Yes Lyn”
“Excellent Lyn! We have Unison, Second,

Third, Forth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Octavein
the intervals within a C Major.”
“How about the perfect intervals and the

major intervals in major scale?”
“Very good we have unison, 4th, 5th and

Octave in Perfect Intervals while 2nd 3rd 6th
and 7th are the major intervals in major scale”
“Class tell me about minor scale. Winrey?”
“Very good! The 3rd, 6th, and 7th become

minor intervals, the unison, 4th, 5th, and 8th did
not change and the 2 stays a major second.”
