| For each interval,
click on the notation images to hear its sound. Listen to the interval with the pitches played together, ascending, and descending. Association with a familiar tune can be helpful for memorizing the sound of an interval. The tunes listed just below each interval group begin with that interval (the first 2 notes are the interval unless otherwise indicated). (Any suggestions for other
tunes? If so, please take a minute to send your suggestions to musicalintervalstutor@yahoo.com
or via the Guest
Book!)
