  1. Hi Nathan, I think the best way to learn sight-singing is a combination of playing the notes on a piano, associating intervals with bits of songs, and then testing yourself using games available online. Check http://www.Musictechteacher.com/musicquizzes.htm for lots of easy games. They're designed for kids, but they do help you to test your progress in a quick and simple way. Also, remember that the 7th in "Twist and Shout" is a minor 7th, i.e. it's not the 7th of the major scale. Here are some song references for intervals, and if you aren't familiar with these songs, there's a good list of them on www.earmaster.com: Major 2nd: "God Save The Queen/My Country 'Tis Of Thee"-- the second and third pitches Major 3rd: "Oh When The Saints Come Marching In" Perfect 4th: "Amazing Grace" Perfect 5th: "BaBa Black Sheep/Twinkle Twinkle Little Star/ABCD" -- the second and third pitches Major 6th: "Hush Little Baby" Major 7th: "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" -- the first and third pitches Octave: "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" Minor 2nd: "White Christmas" Minor 3rd: "What Child Is This" Tritone: "The Simpsons Theme" Minor 6th: "Love Story Theme" -- the third and fourth pitches Minor 7th: "Somewhere" Hope this helps. Good luck!
