In Intermediate Orchestra, we will continue learning more notes on our instruments and expanding past reading mostly on the D and A strings (G for Bass). It is important for students to be able to read all of the notes in first position (third for Bass), as the musical repertoire will begin to include more notes on the instrument. Below, you will find links to the natural notes on each open string of your instrument. The fastest way to learn all of these notes is by practicing them by individual strings (these will NOT have any sharps as they are in their natural state). Once you have learned the notes on each string, click on "All notes in D, G, and C Major". This exercise will add in sharps or naturals to the notes and add in key signatures to test your knowledge on all of the notes possible for these three keys. Watch closely for the key signature changes and changes with accidentals!

(Practice these about 5 minutes a day).
