|\ /| \\|| (o O| | * | ( w )-Carrot? \_/ | | Hello! A long while back someone asked about hearing intervals. This list is far from complete. Other people may have different songs that are easier for them. You'll also notice I left a whole bunch of blanks. I tried to find stuff for the TT going DOWN, and the major 7ths, but still they elude me. I guess what I'd do in these instances is write a song using those intervals as the starting line! Without that ado crap, here's a little bit of what I use when my ears just won't work for me: Interval up down ===================================================================== minor 2nd Jaws Second-Hand Rose ("DUH DUNT...) ("SE-COND HAND ROSE...") major 2nd Oh Susanna The First Noel ("WELL I COME from...") ("THE-UH FIRST...") minor 3rd O Canada Star Spangled Banner ("O CAN-ada") ("OH-OH say...") major 3rd Michael Row Your Giant Steps Boat Ashore ("LIFE WHEN we were...") ("MI-CHAEL row...") perfect 4th Someday My Prince All Of Me Will Come ("ALL OF me...") ("SOME-DAY my...") tritone Maria (west side story) ("MA-RI-a, I just met...") perfect 5th Imperial margerine For Your Eyes Only (royal theme ("For your eyes ON-LY") "DUNT-da da-DAH") My Favourite Things ("RAIN-DROPS on roses...") minor 6th Black Orpheus Where Do I Begin ("I'LL SING to the ("WHERE DO I begin...") sun in the sky...") major 6th My Bonny Lies Over All Blues (Miles Davis) The Ocean ("The SEA, THE sky") ("MY BON-ny lies...") or the NBC jingle, (take your pick) minor 7th There's A Place For Us ("THERE'S A place...") major 7th perfect octave Alice In Wonderland ("A-LICE in Wonderland") Somewhere Over the Rainbow ("SOME-WHERE over ...") -- -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- "If you drive, don't drink." -- Tony Chung quayster@cynic.wimsey.bc.ca quayster@arkham.wimsey.bc.ca
