Interval Game

Postby papadeedee » 09 Feb 2016 12:16

Anyone up for the game? Linking the first two notes of a well known tune as a means of remembering intervals.
For example if I was asked to sing a perfect fourth, I would think of the first two notes of Away in a Manger.
I hope to get a song for every interval ascending and descending.
Anyone got any ideas ? I've already given an example of a perfect fourth.
Here is one for a minor 2nd , I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas,

Hi Brian,
I just had a quick scan through your posts and the first one I came to was Country Roads.
A great example of a major 2nd.

The two really awkward critters are the major and minor 6ths.

Major - Days of Wine and Roses
Minor - A day in the life of a fool / Carnival / Manha da Carnaval (all the same tune) or, if your reverse the notes, Love Story

Some others:

Octave - Over the Rainbow
Flattened 5th/Augmented 4th (AKA tritone or 'Devil's Interval') Maria, from West Side Story
Major 3rd - While Shepherds Watched
Minor 2nd - So In Love
Minor 3rd - Moonglow
It's not what you play, it's not how you play. It's the fact that you're playing that counts.

Thanks Andy,
I always think of over the Rainbow for the octave and I like your Maria example
I hope more people get involved, it is quite fun.
