I'm trying to learn my intervals. I knew the major ones, which I knew by having songs that they formed the start of. By searching around, I've found songs for the minor/augmented ones too. I'm sure there are more technical ways of learning these, but this seems to work for me, so here they are in case they're any use to anyone else:
Minor 2nd - Pink Panther
- We will, we will rock you (Queen)
Major 2nd - Happy Birthday
- Three blind mice
Minor 3rd - Brahms lullaby
- Hey Jude
Major 3rd - Oh when the Saints
- Summertime
Perfect 4th - Away in a Manger
Augmented 4th - Maria (WSS)
Perfect 5th - Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Minor 6th - The Entertainer
- Love Story
Major 6th - My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean
Minor 7th - Somewhere (West Side Story) - There's a place for us
Major 7th - Somewhere over the Rainbow (first & third notes)
Octave - as above (first and second notes)
