In a major scale, the fourths, fifths, and octaves are defined by the term "perfect interval." A perfect interval refers to the specific distance or interval between two notes within a scale or chord.
To find the fourth, fifth, or octave in a major scale, we follow these steps:
1. Start with the root note of the major scale.
2. Count up four scale degrees to find the fourth.
3. Count up five scale degrees to find the fifth.
4. Count up eight scale degrees to find the octave.
For example, in the key of C major, the fourth note would be F, the fifth note would be G, and the octave note would be C.
Remember, a major second refers to the distance of two scale degrees, while an accidental interval refers to any interval that is altered or changed by an accidental (i.e., a sharp or flat).
