Assignment #1 - Key Signature ID

KEY SIGNATURES are an important and essential tool to our musicianship. Here is a link to a Music Theory Assignment webpage where you can practice constructing key signatures. If you need to review labeling key signatures, go to THIS PAGE first!

Remember the rules for SHARP and FLAT keys

SHARPS - 1/2 step above the last sharp names the key

FLATS - 2nd to the last flat names the key

Remember the rules for MINOR KEYS - add three flats to the major key.

Practice until you have over 35 attempts and over 80% accuracy. If you are getting less than 80% accuracy - send me a message or ask for support!

Once you're done, sign your "progress report" to get your verification code, click the link to show your progress report, and submit your verification code as a comment on your FreshGrade Assignment.

Note: Be sure you're uploading a link, and not just the code. If you've done it correctly, your link will not say 'exercise' in the middle, it should say 'verify' and then have the code. Like this: http://www.musictheory.net/verify/2WVTXMRZDAQHVZYH1XBRQDYME10MF

Assignment #3 - Interval Spelling

INTERVALS are an important and essential tool to our musicianship.

An INTERVAL is the distance between two notes.

GENERIC invervals refer to the type of interval only, Example: 2nd or 6th. Start counting with the first note as 1, and then count up to the second... it's just that easy! If you need to learn about how to identify generic intervals, go to THIS TUTORIAL PAGE for helpful information.

SPECIFIC intervals refer to both type and quality, Example: Perfect 4th or Major 3rd. If you need to learn about how to identify specific intervals, go to THIS TUTORIAL PAGE for helpful information! I also made THIS PAGE with all kinds of support about intervals.

To help you be successful, use these for refrence:
