MUsic literacy Progressive Lessons

Below is progressive series of assignments I created on MusicTheory.net for use in google classroom to work on music literacy, from the very basic LINES AND SPACES only, to more complex range and accidentals such as sharps and flats, and moving into reading notes in the context of various key signatures. You are welcome to use these as well, each will prompt the student to view a report at the end of the drill (which can be retaken as many times as needed). This code can be sent to the teacher in order to assess the student's progress. Since this is a progressive series of exercises, students should work for mastery on each before moving on to the next one. Each has the option to select treble or bass clef. For band students, learning just their main clef would be the primary goal. Learning both clefs would be good for advanced students or piano players.

Below are the BEST note name reference papers I have found, as they have extended range in both directions (ledger lines) as well as a piano keyboard. I let my students use them as needed until they are comfortable with the notes of their main clef. Thanks to the great legacy site www.musictechteacher.com for these materials!
