Tritones
Tritones
The next interval we will learn is called a Tritone.
A tritone is larger than a 4th, but smaller than a 5th.
Therefore, it can be thought of as a 4 that is sharp, or a 5 that is flat.
A Tritone is also equivalent to 6 half steps, or 3 whole steps.
By themselves, Tritones have a rather harsh, dissonant sound.
