Major 2 - happy / birthday major 3 - some nights (oh-Oh) perfect 4 - Harry Potter (prime due note) perf 5 - twinkle twinkle little star major 6 - call me maybe (and this is -> crazy) major 7 - pure imagination (in a -> world of pure imagination) octave - party rock ( in the -> house tonight)
Exactly! Others just mention songs but don’t make clear where exactly the interval in question is. For beginners who do not KNOW the intervals, but want to LEARN, it is then basically useless. Well done with the repeat and the visualization!
I take vocal lessons because I am trying to get into an advanced choir. The first time that I tried to audition for this choir, I had very little knowledge of music theory. When we got to the sight singing part, I said to myself "oh God, 🤦♀️" Although I failed the audition, the choir director was very nice. She was interested in my joining her choir. She encouraged me to learn music and vocal technique. So, I hired a professional vocal teacher and now I am in my third year of vocal training. At the moment, I am struggling with learning intervals 😪. I have progressed a lot and can now sight sing (although that always needs improvement). I think that identifying intervals by using familiar songs is the easiest way. Thank you for your video.
5:22 The 3rd bar of the harry potter theme doesn't look right. The note from the 2nd bar carries over for half a beat. Then another half beat for then, on the long one on the second beat. Pls, correct if I'm wrong.
It's a definitely a fun starting point, esp. with friends who also play. ultimately I got faster singing the intervals outright without the song, which I know is kinda boring. LOL
So in Love (mi fa) - On the street where you live (do re), Too late now (mi so), I can't get started (do mi), I've never been in love before (so do, do fa), Maria!!!!!, People will say we're in love (do so), November twilight (octave), (do ti e.g. in Spring will be a little late this year), (a minor sixth e.g. in What'll I do) ...
playing by ear is super easy for me, since i have Absolute pitch, but i cannot remember the names of the intervals... I'm sure it will get better overtime though, lol.
i really kinda hate this method cause you have to unlearn it if you want to apply relative pitch in real time. if you're improvising, you just don't have time to recall some snippet of a tune.
This is not how it works. The song reference helps you to start learning the interval so your ears get used to isolating it. You will practice for months with this method until your brain automatically recognizes the interval without the song reference. That's how I have done it and it works. I am now learning the 7th, 9th and 11th intervals. But all the rest I don't have to think about the song reference anymore (and I learned all of them with song references) It's all a matter of practice. But most people are not willing to put the effort and the work. They want the easy fast route, which doesn't exist.
@@gonzaloramirez7134 You don't just do something over and over and over again for months and then instantly stop. By that point, the song reference is automatic and a habit. You create a habit through tons of repetition just to be forced to break the habit. I've successfully trained relative pitch without song references. They're not necessary. They're an unnecessary crutch.

I like to use "My Bonnie lies over the ocean" for the 6th, "Take on me" for the 7th, and "Somewhere over the rainbow" for the octave.
Great examples - thank you! (I’m definitely stealing “Take on Me”)
Do you know a descending octave ?
"No business" is 8ve from There's no business like show business
Can tell me where the 7th is please
For minor third use Jingle Bells. When you sing "jingle all the way," jing-gle is a minor third transition.
Nice! Great festive choice 👍🏻
You explained literally every question I’ve had over the years. Well done.
👍🏻🥳🥳
Thanks! This is the only one that made me understand how it works and explained it carefully without talking too fast
HAPPY BIRTH
HAPPY BIRTH
HAPPY BIRTH
HAOPY BIRTH
Damn you beat me to this comment😂
Also for Maj 6th, the beginning to 'My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean'. My ( root ) Bon ( 6th ).
Major 2 - happy / birthday
major 3 - some nights (oh-Oh)
perfect 4 - Harry Potter (prime due note)
perf 5 - twinkle twinkle little star
major 6 - call me maybe (and this is -> crazy)
major 7 - pure imagination (in a -> world of pure imagination)
octave - party rock ( in the -> house tonight)
Nice examples - the repetition of the interval within the song as well as the notation is very helpful.
Thanks! Repetition is key. Especially if you can hum it out!
@@inunison I also consider it that way. Your video is very helpful. Thanks

i did an ear training test for a class and this helped a lot thank you!! :)
Awesome!!

Wow that’s so great!! I’m glad this video helped. Happy practicing!
Finally somebody who doesn't use "somewhere over the rainbow" for an Octave.
Another example perfect fifth is the beginning of the Game of Thrones main theme (melody)
A good example of minor third is the first three notes in the intro of the Linkin Park's "Numb"
And demons by Imagine Dragons
thank you so much for the knowledge that you are providing.
You’re welcome!
This video is a good template for teachers to expand on with their students. Not a good video for students to learn from.

I like to use the USSR Anthem for the perfect fourth and Mr. Star man for the octave

Yes!! As long as it worked for you 👍🏻
How did you practice ?
So in Love (mi fa) - On the street where you live (do re), Too late now (mi so), I can't get started (do mi), I've never been in love before (so do, do fa), Maria!!!!!, People will say we're in love (do so), November twilight (octave), (do ti e.g. in Spring will be a little late this year), (a minor sixth e.g. in What'll I do) ...
Wow - great choices 👍🏻
Found very helpful ❤️keep on doing 😀

I'm sure it will get better overtime though, lol.
Practice, practice! You’ll get better 👍🏻
chopin op 9 no.2 - major 6
Excellent choice! Love this piece. 👍🏻
Very helpfully 🙏🏼
Here comes the bride is good for a perfect 4tj
Thanks! Yup - that’s a classic! 😁
Me who knew most of this stuff before watching this: 👁👄👁
I NEED HELP! I HAVE TO DO THIS FOR HOMEWORK 📄 WHAT ARE THE INTERVAL FOR EACH SONG
i think it’s two beats ? i have no clue, and i have it for hw too
For the people who likes japanese music, gut`s theme starts with a 2M then a 6M.
Thanks for sharing!
Can you please do also descending intrevala?
Hopefully soon 🤞🏻👍🏻
I use 'In the end' (Linkin park) for perfect 5th
Excellent! Good one 👍🏻
Thanx!
For Octave, "House" (E) - "To" (Eb) isn't a full octave. Can someone please explain this ?
The octave occurs between “in the” (Eb) - “House” (Eb) .
@@inunisonoops sorry I meant to say "In the" (E) - "House" (Eb) is only a M7 right? I thought E - E is a full octave.
Perfect examples
Another perfect 5th is Star wars opening theme.
Another Octave is "the office" intro.
Nice!
Hi!!! Do you have a reference for minor 6th? Nice video! 👍
Thanks! 🙏 Check out my Intervals *Part II* video in my ear training playlist. All minor intervals there and Tritone too!
Slow dancing in a burning room, Belief by John Mayer; The Entertainer by Scott Joplin; Batman Theme
old Love Story theme song
HAPPY BIRTH HAPPY BIRTH
Major 2nd
i have one, perfect octave is somewhere over the rainbow, minor second is jaws theme (ps your songs are cool too! Thanks!)
Great examples! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻
amazing video, thank u
Thank you very much !
For a minor 6th , I always think of “ Black Orfeus” ( the day in the life of a fool)
Also the God Father theme
I'm looking for decriesing intervals
5th. chasing cars Snow Patrol or its different for girls Joe Jackson
Forget happy birthday where you need the second and third notes. Ruddolf the red nose reindeer or Frère Jacques work much better.
Classics! 👍🏻
No minor intervals

Dude you talk way too much before you get to the point. And some are not very popular songs,. Thank you though.
i really kinda hate this method cause you have to unlearn it if you want to apply relative pitch in real time. if you're improvising, you just don't have time to recall some snippet of a tune.
How should I practice then ?
