Beginner band name-a-note worksheets

Posted by Obi Ron Kenobi on 11/5/2024, 3:45 pm

I have scoured the internet for years.
I have spent many, many hours building worksheets on Finale.
I still fight to get what I need.

Does anyone have (or know where to find) simple - VERY simple - worksheets that simply ask kids to write the name of a note.

I have found (and bought and tried) a few books like Mark Wessel's 5 Minute Theory but all of them are overly wordy (distracting), involve transposing and/or key signatures or have other issues.

I believe you are looking for the mad minute website. YOu select the clef, accidentals, range, and number of notes you want.

Sometimes there are issues in rendering the image so you have to refresh the page, but it does exactly what you're looking for.

There are also books like Saxophone Note Speller that have the fingerings and the note names.

I don't know if these will be helpful or not, but several years ago I created a set of sheets for my band students that have all of the band instruments with notes on staves along with blank fingering chart diagrams where students have to write in the note name for each pitch and fill in the blanks of the fingering diagrams to show they know the note names as well as know how to finger each of those notes.

There are 2 sets of sheets in the folder: Sheets for beginners and sheets for more advanced students.

The PDF folder has the sheets, but I also have in there the original Sibelius files I created to make them just in case anyone wants to use any of this to customize their own sheets.

These are still on my Google Drive and you (and anyone else who would like to have them) are free to download them to use. Here's the link to the folder on my Google Drive where they are all located:

I still have a lot of other worksheets on my Google Drive I used over the years that anyone is welcome to have if they wish. Most are general music type with some music theory that I used with secondary and some upper elementary band students. The sheets are out-of-print sets with a few others that I created from scratch. Anyone who wants to check out any of that material is free to contact me off list and I'll be glad to send you a link to that folder as well. I'm glad to share those too if anyone might find them useful. Some of them I used for subs if I happened to be out for any reason.

I think the first link is what you are looking for. Just scroll down to the "Ready, Set Go" worksheets. The second one isnt as "kid friendly" but still good.
If you have a touch screen or smartboard in your room, I use the quizzes on musictheory.net with my beginners. THey love it.
