I am trying to determine what intervals are in the beginning of 2 melodys-one from The March of the Siamese Children and the other from From Russia With Love from James Bond-any insight is appreciated.
Hopefully examples of intervals in songs will help:

To determine the intervals in the beginning of the melodies you mentioned, you can follow these steps:
1. Listen to the melodies: Start by listening carefully to both melodies. Pay attention to the pitch differences between the notes and try to identify the intervals by ear.
2. Identify the first note: Listen attentively to the starting note of each melody. Take note of its pitch.
3. Determine the pitch of the next note: Identify the pitch of the second note in each melody. Compare it to the first note and note the change in pitch.
4. Calculate the interval: To determine the interval, you'll need to know the distance between the two pitches. Measure the distance in terms of semitones. For example, if the second note is one step higher than the first note, the interval would be a major second.
5. Repeat for subsequent notes: Continue this process for each subsequent note, calculating the intervals between each note pair.
Using this method, you should be able to determine the intervals in the beginning of both melodies accurately.
Note: If you are not familiar with music theory or you find it difficult to identify intervals by ear, you may find it helpful to use a music analysis software or consult sheet music for these melodies, which usually includes the intervals marked.
