NOTE: Make sure that you completely understand and have a mastery of the material in Lesson I before you do this lesson.
The flowchart can be extended as follows:

As usual, there are exceptions to this flowchart, notably anything that has to do with any seconds.
m2 = half step above the note, one letter name up
M2 = whole step above the note, one letter name up
º2 = half step below m2 (enharmonically equivalent to a P1)
+2 = half step above M2 (enharmonically equivalent to a m3)
Exercises (including + and º):
(no level 1 exercise)
Level 2: http://www.musictheory.net/exercises/interval/drw99999999b
Level 3: http://www.musictheory.net/exercises/interval/drw99999999n
Level 4: http://www.musictheory.net/exercises/interval/drw99999999d
Level 5: http://www.musictheory.net/exercises/interval/drw99999999r
For ear training, there is only one new interval to memorize - the tritone (º5 or +4). Below are the ear training links for convenience.
Intervals:
M2 = "Happy Birthday" on "Birth-day"
P4 = "Here Comes the Bride" on "Here Comes," "Amazing Grace" on "A-ma," "Oh, Christmas Tree" on "Oh, Chris"
M6 = "My Bonnie" on "My Bon"
M7 = just sounds bad. :P
P1 = unison = same note
Exercise on these Intervals: http://www.musictheory.net/exercises...terval/ftneyyy (http://www.musictheory.net/exercises/ear-interval/ftneyyy)
m2 = Theme from "Jaws," "Pink Panther" - Jaws: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWLO4acMTCM
M3 = "Oh When the Saints" on "Oh when"
m3 = "Greensleeves" - first two notes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5ItNxpwChE or an orchestral version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6jTgF4YQ4w&t=00m20s
P5 = "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" - the interval created between the "Twinkle"s
P8 = "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" - the first two notes ("somewhere"): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhzbzwPNgXA&t=00m39s.

Exercise on Set 1 & 2 combined: http://www.musictheory.net/exercises...terval/9igeyyy (http://www.musictheory.net/exercises/ear-interval/9igeyyy)
Set 3 - the hardest set to remember:
°5 = +4 = Tritone: Theme from "The Simpsons" - first two notes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqog63KOANc
m6 = Chopin - Waltz in c# minor (Op. 64, No. 2) - first two notes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOcryGEw1NY
