Lesson 9 Melodic intervals 2nd and 3rds

This Tisket, a Tasket song is also an exercise in the 2nd and 3rd melodic intervals.  The instructions in the Alfred's book I'm using to learn suggests saying the intervals as you play them.  I said the notes in the video, but practiced it also saying the intervals.  The point being I suppose is that a melody is not so much a series of notes, but a series of relationships between notes, and it's good to ingrain these relationship sounds in your head.  Especially, I suppose, if you intend to improvise someday.
