Anchors for fourths and fifths
One more look at what you missed.
The open leaps have tunes, too.
A fourth and a fifth both sound wide and open. A tune for each tells them apart.
Perfect fourth: Amazing Grace.
Its first two notes are a fourth apart. Here Comes the Bride opens the same way.
No sound? Check your volume, and that your phone is not on silent.
Perfect fifth: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.
The leap between its first two words is a fifth. The Star Wars theme leaps a fifth too.
Amazing Grace or Twinkle, Twinkle?
Check the tune against the leap you heard.
Sing the tune's first note on the first note played. If its second note lands where the second note went, you have it.
Both leaps from the same note.
The same two leaps, higher up. Same tunes.
A tune is a crutch, and that is fine.
With practice, the sound of the leap itself will give you the name before the song arrives.
Which tune opens with a perfect fifth?
