Anchors for seconds and thirds
One more look at what you missed.
Tie each interval to a tune you know.
If a song starts with that interval, the interval brings the song back. And the song brings the name.
Minor second: the Jaws theme.
The shark music rocks between two notes a half step apart.
No sound? Check your volume, and that your phone is not on silent.
Major second: Frère Jacques.
Its first two notes are a whole step apart.
Does it sound like Jaws or like Frère Jacques?
Minor third: Greensleeves.
Its first two notes are a minor third apart, dark and gentle.
Major third: When the Saints Go Marching In.
Its first two notes are a major third apart, bright and open.
Greensleeves or When the Saints?
Start the tune on the note you heard.
Hum the first note of the song right on the first note played. Then check whether the second note matches.
Four tunes, four intervals: Jaws, Frère Jacques, Greensleeves, the Saints.
You have tunes for the small intervals.
What you learned
- Jaws starts with a minor second; Frère Jacques with a major second.
- Greensleeves starts with a minor third; When the Saints with a major third.
- Start the tune on the first note you hear and check the second.
