    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.

    For minor third use Jingle Bells. When you sing "jingle all the way," jing-gle is a minor third transition.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    • @gonzaloramirez7134
      @gonzaloramirez7134 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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.

They're an unnecessary crutch.
