Re: hearing intervals prior to playing

A trick to be sure, but tried and true--play the interval in question, and figure out what tune it suggests. (For example, a tritone suggests Maria from West Side Story.) This way we can work backwards; in addition to learning the way an interval sounds, we can use those intervals we already have memorized and learn what their names are. Have fun!
