How to learn intervals by ear
Link each interval to a tune you know: a perfect 4th is the start of "Here Comes the Bride", a perfect 5th the start of "Star Wars". Start with the easy level (3rds, 5th, octave), then add the rest.
Practise a few minutes every day rather than an hour once a week. Ten correct answers in a row at one level is a good sign to move on.

- Why are melodic intervals easier than harmonic ones?
- When the notes come one after the other you can sing them; played together they blend into one sound. Start with "Up".
