Interval Theory is like the power add-on for your knowledge of harmony, melody, and orchestration.
Create better music.
How does Interval Theory work?
Picture music as telling an emotional story with intervals and notes instead of words. Some intervals want to jump to the next part (like resolutions or expansions), making the music exciting, while others are happy to stay where they are, making things calm.
This is what we learn about in Interval Theory—the natural behavior and characteristics of the intervals.
Knowing this lets us control the music's story, making it go where we want, beyond just mixing chords or playing scales. We can surprise our listeners, create stories that stick, and make our music stand out as truly unique.

The entire Implementation Plan
1. The Strategy
If you love creating music, you shouldn't bet on luck. We help you with an easy-to-follow methodology to implement Interval Theory into your compositions.
2. Gathering
Let's put all the musical elements on the table that we consider using in a composition: Intervals (vertically & horizontally), chords, scales, tempi, lines, and so on.
3. Sketching
Now, we want to place the gathered elements on the canvas and create a first outline of the composition, including form and timings. That's the sketch.
4. Developing
Next, let's arrange and orchestrate the sketch. We give you all the concepts that makes this step fun instead of overwhelming!
5. Publishing
The final stage is to have your work recognized. This involves business elements like promotion, marketing, and networking.
At MITA, we know you are the kind of composer who wants to be more original, break out of the usual clichées, and maybe even inspire others. In order to be that way, you need to understand the characteristics of the intervals and how to use them in your work. We know you want to be in control over your compositions, so, let's remove the guessing part and replace it with knowledge.
The problem is that conventional theory doesn't get you there!
We believe that every composer should be able to build his musical dream life. This is fundamentally important, and we understand the frustration many composers go through. In fact, we went through it as well.
