Kodaly's method is also pretty good, as it works very simply and gradually and builds up your ear and singing.

Uhm.. that's a fourth, Mark...

Well, if you don't count the upbeat.

Oh, I meant the upbeat.. Yeah, the other two notes are a fifth indeed. But the upbeat is much more memorable than the other two notes. Anyway, the fifth is such a natural interval I don't think you'd actually need a song to remember it >_> It's weird, though, because a research my teacher back in Greece told me about showed that Greek children found it easier to sing the fourth and augmented fourth than the rest of Europe, while they had difficulties singing a fifth, which the rest of Europe managed just fine. Weird stuff...

Sometimes the most "natural" intervals can be the hardest to recognize, because they melt together so much. I've so often seen people who (after perfectly recognizing thirds, sixths, sevenths, tritoni, etc.) had the greatest trouble recognizing an octave

Hm.. maybe.. You could tell them to use the upbeat to "Let it snow" as a mnemonic song for an octave then, I assume

If' you (like me) can't compile source code, there is one thing you could do. If you're mac is new enough, then you could download an Ubuntu liveCD (or any other liveCD), then you can download it from there. True, you would have to re-download it every time you reboot, but it's not that big of a program.

Other options are putting it on a thumb drive, or installing ubuntu (other linux distros).

You can get Feather Linux on a USB stick, and DSL as well, you don't need to install such a heavy-weight (in terms of size) distro like ubuntu to get it working
