Re: hearing intervals prior to playing

A couple more...

Quote:
minor 3rd = Night Train / Happy-Go-Lucky Special
Perfect 5th = It Ain't Necessarily So
minor 6th = NOT the NBC Jingle
Major 6th = The NBC Jingle
If you can sing a major and minor triad, you shouldn't need a mnemonic for major or minor 3rd or perfect 5th.

Also, these are for ascending intervals. You also need to work on descending intervals!
