Tips for Identifying Intervals

Associate each interval with a well-known song. For example: Minor 2nd = "Jaws" theme, Major 2nd = "Happy Birthday", Minor 3rd = "Greensleeves", Major 3rd = "When the Saints", Perfect 4th = "Here Comes the Bride", Perfect 5th = "Star Wars" theme, Octave = "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".

Start with Easy mode and work your way up. Focus on learning the "color" of each interval — major intervals sound bright and happy, minor intervals sound dark and sad, perfect intervals sound open and stable.
