The purpose of this series of posts is to associate each interval with a song (the two first notes of a song to be precise) so you can remember the 'color'/'sound'/'shape' of those intervals.

Now that we know how to properly name an interval ( see this post for details), we want to be able to recognize it when listening to it.ДЇor the moment, (Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3) we will only work with ascending melodic intervals.
