The music teacher's resources on this site feature a range of (free) lesson plans and worksheets designed to (among other things) encourage students to become aware of the conventions surrounding the correct identification and naming of notes
When they can name notes confidently they are ready to go on to study whole and half step intervals and from there the construction of scales and then chords.

Below you can see one of our music teacher's resources which is a simple handout designed to help our students to understand the concepts and principles that underpin the correct naming of musical notes
