Kids like to go fast. They like to run as fast they can; they like to ride roller coasters; they like to play fast games-and they like music speed drills. Tracing Through Theory's Lickety-Split Music Drills will help the beginner music student more quickly identify note names and accurately play notes in the treble and bass clefs. Tracing Through Theory's Lickety-Split Music Drills includes:
72-speed drills-36 in the treble clef; 36 in the bass clef.Written and played speed drills. In the written portion of the speed drill, the student identifies and fills in the name of the note. The played speed drill tests how quickly the student can play the notes.Word game worksheets. The student fills in the letter name of the note in the blank line. The notes in each measure spell out a word, like "egg," "face," "add," and so forth. The student will enjoy figuring out what word is "hidden" in each measure as they practice identifying each note's name.Answer keysStudents love these drills and progress more quickly in their recognition of notes, as well as in playing their assigned piano pieces when speed drills are a routine part of their lessons and practice.
