Lesson 8 Melodic Intervals, 2nd and 3rds

Melodic Intervals are the distance between notes played one after the other.  Harmonic intervals are the distance between notes played at the same time.  This exercise introduces the definition of two melodic intervals, the 2nd and the 3rd.  The 2nd melodic interval is a distance of 1 whole step between two successive notes, a 3rd is a distance of two whole steps between 2 successive notes.  For the heck of it, I played them once as harmonic intervals here, that is to say, at the same time.  In this vid, I play an exercise, and then the song following it in the book called "Au Claire De La Lune", which is a French folk long.
