What is G natural minor?
This key relationship describes keys will be directly to the right and left of each other on the Circle of Fifths.
What are closely related keys?
To determine the size of an interval, one must simply do this.
What is counting the lines and spaces, including the bottom and top letters?
This is name of the process by which a melodic fragment is moved up or down by a set interval.
What is melodic sequence/melodic transposition?

What are distantly related keys?
If an interval's top note fits in the major scale of the bottom note, it could be either of these two qualities.
What are major and perfect?

What is A#?
If the top note of an interval is a half step above what it should be in a major or perfect interval, it will be this quality.
What is augmented?
If a melody features pitches that are naturally emphasized due to their longer duration compared to surrounding pitches, we would call them this.
