Technology again is helping. Recently got an "app" for my iPhone that helps teach note intervals. Using that with Jamie Aebersold's list of songs that help get those intervals learned. Examples:
1/2 step increase in tone = Jaws theme
1/2 step decrease in tone = Joy to the World
1 whole step increase = Can You Feel the Love Tonight (I picked this song over Aebersold's suggestions)
1 whole step decrease in tone = Yesterday
I figure this stuff will be helpful in the effort to play by ear. Since the Moody approach I'm using focuses on playing by melody note, it seems that it will be helpful to learn ear training of note intervals.
