Complete Color Coded Flash Cards for All Beginning Music Students

These cards are fantastic for my 10 year old who is taking piano lessons. Love the color coding & numbered cards, so that we can go to the exact section that he needs to work on.

I teach young students and these cards are better for teaching note names and basic theory than workbooks.

Good quality. Used for my elementary music students as part of a game. They loved them.

This economical, but well-designed set of Flash Cards is targeted for all beginning music students. It is especially helpful for those (children and adults) who are learning keyboards, harps, or beginning band instruments. Music teachers and homeschooling parents may enjoy having this little set as a fun, "go-to" activity that builds music theory, critical thinking, sight-reading, and vocabulary. Games using the cards can create interest and opportunities for additional practice. In my quest to learn the harp and to share music with others, I wanted a quick, non-electronic, and easy-to-read method to learn / review musical notes, terms, and symbols. At the time, Amazon had several types of products in this area. I took some time to decide which product would be best for me. I selected this set, and that choice has proven to be a good one! This is a nice, easy-to-read / easy-to-understand set of flash cards, and the colors do seem to stimulate one's mind, memory. Eye-glass wearers will appreciate the big, dark fonts on these cards. What's nice is that the cards are two-sided with the teaching item on front and its answer on back. Apparently, some flash card sets in music do not have the answers on back; I read this in one Amazon review. What's the point of having the card if you don't have the meaning with it? Fortunately, this 89 Color-Coded Flash Card set gives the learner and teacher both sides of the situation, which is most appreciated!) Cards 3 through 36 show the named notes as they would appear on the musical staff as well as their location on piano / keyboard. This set contains the following information: Canary Cards (1-36): Clef Signs, Notes on Staff, Low C through Middle C through High C Pink Cards (37-50): Note Values, Rest Values, Time Signature White Cards (51-65): Tempo Marks, Dynamic Signs Green Cards (66-77): Musical Symbols Blue Cards (78-89): Melodic & Harmonic Intervals; Key Signatures I'm well pleased with these cards and highly recommend them for beginning students and for those who want a refresher in music. Teachers: if you are using these in a classroom setting, buy one of those little "Page Up" stands that people use for typing. You can then display your note of the day / week.

These cards are good for reinforcing basic theory. I ordered these cards along with Alfred's Essentials of Music Theory: A Complete Self-Study Course for All Musicians (Book & 2 CDs) and Adult All-In-One Course: Lesson-Theory-Technic: Level 1 . I am not a beginner; I took piano lessons while in elementary school, I played the saxophone in middle and high school, and I've been playing drums, guitar, and mandolin for almost 20 years. I know enough theory to communicate with musicians, but I'm largely illiterate and my goal is to be proficient enough to go back to school for a music degree. That's where these cards come in. Overall, the cards are good. Beginners might be a little overwhelmed with the number of cards, but I wish it had a few more. Notably missing are the articulation markings sforzando and tenuto on page 30 of Alfred's Essentials of Music Theory, the tempo markings Largo and Vivace on page 29, and most of the ending markings D.C, D.S., Fine, Coda, and the Sign on page 31. This is a minor complaint, but I would like to have at least tempo markings. Also, the notes only cover two ledger lines below and above the staff. So if you are wanting to learn to read for guitar, you will be on your own for the low E string. This is a minor gripe, but I was hoping to read guitar music as well as piano. Another small complaint is the size of the actual cards. These are one quarter of a sheet of card stock, so 4.25"x5.5. This doesn't sound like a big deal, but I would actually prefer something about the size of playing cards. Shuffling the cards is a pain. I'm actually not using the cards as much as I thought I would, but I don't regret getting them. They should be fine for most people, especially people learning piano. If you are wanting to learn notes for guitar, be aware of the limitation. Also be aware that these are plain card stock. There is no plastic coating.

These flash cards are so helpful! The size of the cards are a little larger than most flash cards, which is great! This is a great way to memorize notes and musical terminology. Great for all ages!

Perfect for learning the core bits of music and commuting them to memory

My daughter has improved in her piano since we purchased this. The cards are great as you can check your child's knowledge of the notes. I now ask my daughter not only to name the note but also to play it on piano. I can check if it's correct as the answer is on the card. Even her teacher ordered some when I brought this to her piano lesson. I m very pleased we found this.

音楽教室講師です。 日本語で書かれた物も持っていますが、英語をよく使うのでこちらの商品を買いました。 紙がペラッペラなのですが、1枚1枚ラミネートして形を揃えれば普通に使えます。 ただ、調判定のカードがやけに少ないのが残念でした。

My teacher advised that I should by flash cards when i was having trouble trying to remember notes by name and placement. I was associating the note on the piano with which finger i used so F was no longer F it was my fourth finger...and then I had trouble moving from the Middle C position. She had a brand of flashcards she normally used but when they could not be located, I ordered this set online. My teacher was able to create two sets of cards from this one...One for me to use now and one for me as I advance in my skills. Reasonably priced as well, my music teacher is switching her students to this set.

Hab sie schon oft genutzt, meine Schüler mögen sie.
