Degree 6Solfège: laNotation: M6
The major 6th is an interval of 9 semitones — the inversion of the minor 3rd. It is consonant — warm and gently bright. With the 2nd, it is one of the two notes added when expanding a major triad into the major pentatonic, and the raised 6th that distinguishes dorian from aeolian.
