Welcome to Part 2 of our Theory Challenge: The Intervals Game! You can visit Part 1 here.
Melodies are just series of intervals, so remembering which songs start with certain intervals can help you when you're learning music theory. This week we're looking at the intervals between a perfect fifth and a perfect octave. We've collected some of our favorite memorable melodies associated with these intervals here. Leave us a note in the comments with your own selections!
