Teaching the recognition of intervals on this page can be coordinated with teaching the singing of intervals in Ottman and Rogers' Music for Sight Singing:
In Chapters 3, 4 and 5 of this book the sight singing melodies have intervals in the tonic triad ( first category on this page), and in Chapters 6 and 9 the melodies have intervals in the dominant triad and dominant seventh respectively ( second category on this page).
Names of excerpts are preceded by scale degree numbers and "asc." for ascending and "des." for descending.
