music theory handouts to print

Music Theory Handouts: 13 Sheets

Thirteen handouts (as opposed to worksheets) covering some key concepts of music theory. Areas covered include Major Scales, Minor Scales, Blues Scales, Major and Minor Pentatonic Scales and the four main types of triad (Major Minor Augmented and Diminished) as well as the four diatonic 7th chords (maj7, m7, 7 and m7(b5) chords

The handouts seve equally well as wall charts covering key concepts and topics for your music classroom wall


music theory key concept explaining handouts to print

Music Theory Explained: 7 Sheets

Designed to complement the 13 music theory handouts shown above the "one click download" also contains a range of more detailed music theory "explainers" which are effective for both classroom use and as part of distance learning or online learning packs that can be used as circumstances dictate

Use in the classroom or for distance learning/revision

Some of the explainers (such as the one to the left of the graphic above) can currently be dowloaded free from this site while the two to the right of the image looking at topics such as the diatonic system or pentatonic scales feature as part of the paid for download

music theory tests to print

Music Theory Test Papers

There are twenty music theory test papers in the download

Ten basic one sheet theory tests and ten more advanced ones. Each test comes in two versions One version uses notated forms and the other requires that students enter only the letter name in order to answer each question. This allows an educator to work using the same material with a group of students with differing entry behaviours and prior experience before embarking on a course of study.

A typical classroom music group is made up of students who have prior experience of notated forms (those who have a background in "formal" music education) working alongside students who arrived there with a background in popular music (Rock, R'n'B, Jazz, Country etc) where the emphasis on musical notation is greatly reduced (if it exists at all)

music theory exam answer sheets

Music Theory Tests:Answer sheets

The twenty theory tests also come complete with (letter name only) answer sheets so that students can mark their own work or find out where they went wrong on any given test

The tests can be used as a diagnostic tool (to find out accurately student's level of understanding with relation to notes, scales, chords and keys) as well as a reliable way to track progress throughout a term or semester





Scales and Intervals


music theory intervals handouts to print

Whole and Half Step Intervals: 5 Sheets

In order to construct Major and minor scales our students only need to initially develop an understanding of whole-step and half-step intervals. There are five sheets designed to introduce the concept of these intervals and then to reinforce understanding of those concepts

music theory intervals answer sheets to print

Whole and Half-Step Intervals Answer Sheets

Answer sheets for the above early stages worksheets (where students are required to provide the letter names of notes a whole-step or a half step from specified starting notes) are included in the download. They can be uploaded to smartboards etc for classroom sessions or used for self-study They can also be used as part of distance learning packs to be uploaded to school technology systems etc

music theory scales and notes worksheets to print

Note Naming and Scale Spelling: 36 Sheets

There are a whole range of sheets here that look at the principles which underpin the correct naming of notes here that do not rely upon notation. This material also includes worksheets with varying levels of graphic support (keyboard diagrams and scale formulae etc). When students understand the principles involved then worksheets designed to be used later in a programme of study featuring notation and a musical staff may be introduced

The 36 sheets that make up this part of the download are designed to allow a teacher to cover the same ground with a group of students who have differing levels of prior knowledge, attainment and capability. Some sheets have no need of notation and feature a whole load of "prompts" (in the form of keyboard diagrams, scale formulae etc) whereas others require students to use their own learning to this point and go straight to using notated music.

music theory note naming answer sheets to print

Note Naming "Letter Name Only" Answer Sheets

Again answer sheets are included in the download for the worksheets where students are required to supply the letter names specified on the worksheets

music theory note identification handouts to print

Major Scale Note Naming Only: 4 Sheets

How to correctly identify the names of the notes in any Major Key using the "correct" starting note and sequence of whole-step and half-step intervals. These resources are among the most well used and valued materials in the download. If you enlarge the graphic above you will see the small circle (between each of the large circles) contains a "W" (for a whole-step) or an "H" (indicating a half-step interval). Used alongside the keyboard graphic at the top of each sheet these resources are a great way to help ensure that ALL of your students understand the Major Scale

music theory note identification handouts to print

Major Scale Construction: Letter Name Only Answer Sheets

The four Major Scale Worksheets that require students to supply the correct letter name for each degree of the scale are also accompanied by answer sheets that you can choose to use (or not?) in the delivery of your music theory teaching

music theory scale worksheets to print

Mixed Scale Spelling Worksheets: 4 Sheets

When students are secure with the way that Major Scales are constructed from pre determined sequence of whole and half-step intervals then it is time to bring the same principles to bear with a look at the sequences of intervals that make up other common scale types. A great way to keep more theoretically advanced students gainfully occupied while you spend time explaining first principles to the relative novices in your class group


music theory key signature worksheets pdf

Major Scales with Key Signatures: 8 Sheets

Materials designed to help class members to fully understand how keys work and that all keys essentially follow the same "rules" rather than just to be able to recite the number of sharps or flats in each key


more music theory key signature worksheets pdf

Key Signature Worksheets: 4 Sheets

This material provides an opportunity to develop and reinforce a familiarity with keys and key signatures. If you look at the worksheets above you will see that two of them have a visual "prompt" in the form of a keyboard graphic while the remaining pair oblige a student to complete the worksheets using only the theories and concepts that they have internalised

music theory scale worksheets with notation

Mixed Scale Worksheets Musical Staff Only: 5 Sheets

Material for more advanced students who are already (or who have become as a result of your wonderful teaching!) familiar with musical notation or who are ready to start working with it. There are no graphic "prompts" (keyboard diagrams, scale formulae etc) on these worksheets and there are a whole range of scales (Major pentatonic, minor pentatonic and Blues Scales) featured among the standard Major and minor forms


music theory scale worksheets with notation and keyboard

Major Scales with Formulae and Keyboard Graphic: 4 Sheets

Unlike the resources immediately above them these worksheets cover the same ground (Major scale construction) but offer your learners visual support in the form of scale formulae and keyboard digrams etc. If you enlarge the image you will see that the small circles that separate the larger ones contain the scale formulae ("W" for whole-step intervals and "H" for half-step ones)


music theory scale worksheets with notation and keyboard

Major Scales: 4 Sheets

The Major scale is so important to music theory because all other scales are understood with reference to how it is constructed. These sheets are intended to help our students to develop a "joined up" knowledge of how music theory works. It is important to remember that all students will not be required to complete all worksheets. The sheets presented (out of sequence remember?) on this page will be used until a learner has a solid understanding of the subject matter under study before moving on to the next topic (see the free lesson plans for more information with relation to the order in which an educator should present these materials)


music theory minor scale worksheets with notation and keyboard

music theory minor scale worksheet with key signatures

Major Scales to Blues Scales: 10 Sheets

I mentioned earlier in this page about how important it was that a student fully understands how Major Scales are constructed before they can hope to develop a secure knowledge of how other scales (in this case The Blues Scale) work. The worksheets here (presented with varying levels of graphic and notational support) require a student to identify the notes of a Major Scale before examining what needs to change before a Blues Scale based on the same root note can be constructed. These worksheets offer a great way to ensure that students get "under the hood" with relation to developing an understanding of music theory


music theory minor scale worksheet with key signatures



Major, Minor and Blues Scales: 6 Sheets

Similar in principle to the worksheets above but with the introduction of minor scales. Some of the "nitty gritty" of understanding how music works with some of the materials specifically designed with guitar playing students in mind
