When attempting to identify intervals, the most reliable and proven method is song association. When you hear the two notes, and if you can hear the song associated with that interval, you should be able to correctly identify the interval.

If, when you have climbed the correct number of notes, it doesn\u2019t sound quite right, it could be that the top note was lowered and is a minor interval rather than major.<\/p>\n

The first and second activities below start with only major or perfect intervals.<\/p>\n
