Method 2: Counting half steps to determine perfect and major intervals
Memorize the chart below for perfect and major intervals—count half steps above the lower note.

P1 = 0 half steps (the same note)

M2 = 2 half steps

M3 = 4half steps

P4 = 5 half steps

P5 = 7 half steps

M6 = 9 half steps (or 3 half steps below the octave)

M7 = 11 half steps (or 1 half step below the octave)

P8 = 12 half steps (octave higher)
