Suggestions and feedback
If you find broken links, removed videos or have suggestions for new songs to include, please go to the Interval Song Examples forum and post a comment. Notice: please only suggest songs known by a larger audience. There are about 1 billion songs in this world and we cannot list all of them here.

If you feel that your copyright has been infringed by one of the video examples, please contact YouTube to have it removed from their website, and send us a notice so that we can delete the infringing material from the list.

Do you need more?
To train interval recognition and learn more music theory, you can use the "Interval Identification" exercise of our ear training program EarMaster.
When you reach a more advanced level of ear training, you might find it confusing to involve a different song in the music you work with. Then you should begin to associate the interval directly with its sound, without using a template song.
