Reference songs

Some music teachers teach their students relative pitch by having them associate each possible interval with the first interval of a popular song.[1] Such songs are known as "reference songs".[2] However, others have shown that such familiar-melody associations are quite limited in scope, applicable only to the specific scale-degrees found in each melody.[3]

Here are some examples for each interval:

0/unison
Steps/interval Ascending Descending
1/
minor second

C↑C

C↓B
2/major second
C↑D

C↓B
3/minor third
C↑E

C↓A
4/major third
C↑E

C↓A
5/perfect fourth
C↑F

C↓G
6/tritone
C↑F

C↓F
7/perfect fifth
C↑G

C↓F
8/minor sixth
C↑A

C↓E
9/major sixth
C↑A

C↓E
10/minor seventh
C↑B

C↓D
11/major seventh
C↑B

C↓D
12/octave
C↑C

C↓C

In addition, there are various

solfeggio, sargam, and numerical sight-singing) that assign specific syllables to different notes of the scale
. Among other things, this makes it easier to hear how intervals sound in different contexts, such as starting on different notes of the same scale.
