I’m currently a music student in college and, obviously, I have to be able to nail all the intervals. To do so I’ve found the best way is to associate the certain interval with how a song starts such as the Theme song for Star Wars, that starts with a perfect fifth, or the "I’ve just met a girl named María" song from West side story which starts with an augmented fourth (the Simpson’s also starts with an augmented fourth! You know… When it says "THE SIM…" those to notes are an augmented fourth if you hadn’t noticed) and well I was wondering if any of you could help me with a couple of songs I might know (or get to know) that could help me with intervals:
minor 2nd- Don’t think it’s necessary, but I have one already… JAWS! Any others you know?
major 2nd- Don’t think it’s necessary either since… Well, both the ionian and aeolian scales start with a 2nd major, but if you have a tune, throw it anyways!
Minor third- don’t think it’s that necessary either, but toss it any-who.
Major third- another I don’t think is necessary, but keep ‘em comin’
Perfect Fourth- I confuse this one a pinch, if anyone knows any songs that start with a perfect fourth I’d appreciate it!
Augmented fourth- I already have two, but I’d love to know a couple more. Composers don’t normally start songs with augmented fourths.
Perfect Fifth- Star Wars theme! Still, it’d be cool to know a couple!
Minor Sixth- I don’t know any songs (well I probably do, I just haven’t really thought of it)
Major Sixth- "Go West" by I have no idea who. It’s an a Capella I have to produce a a song. Others are welcome!
Minor Seventh- No songs come to mind for minor sevenths
Major Seventh- No songs come to mind for major sevenths either, but this one is easier to spot since it’s just a semitone under the octave.
Octave- Not really necessary either.
Thanks Guys!
