Music Teacher's Helper - Your music studio manager

Ricci Adam’s musictheory.net

Thu January 31st, 2008 by Ronnie Currey

This is a music theory site that I have used with my students for years. The site has three sections: Lessons, Trainers, and Utilities.
LESSONS:

  • The Staff, Clefs and ledger Lines
  • Note duration
  • Measures and Time Signatures
  • Rest duration, Dots and Ties
  • Simple, Compound and Odd meters
  • Scales and Scale degrees
  • Much more

Trainer

  • Note
  • Key
  • Interval
  • Triad
  • Keyboard
  • Guitar
  • Brass
  • Interval Ear Trainer
  • Scale Ear Trainer
  • Chord Ear Trainer

The trainer section is the area I use the most in working with students. For example, the Interval Ear Trainer will play two notes, one at a time. You select from a list what the interval is. The program keeps a running grade/score and, if you give a wrong answer, the correct answer will appear. I use this trainer for my voice students. My students tell me that this training also helps them in the school choir when they have to sight read new music.

Utilities

  • Chord Calculator
  • Staff Paper generator
  • Matrix generator

Go to musictheory.net and try it out. It is free, and one of the best theory sites I have seen and used.
