A lead sheet for Knocking on Heaven’s Door. This single side of A4 includes words, chord progression, notes for bassline, guitar shapes, keyboard shapes, drum pattern and song structure. Ideal to print and go! The second sheet is exactly the same but has chords for Ukulele instead of guitar.

This is a PowerPoint that goes through how to read music from the very beginning. Terms are explained carefully and there are lots of examples. This would be very useful when starting to teach pupils how to read music and explains how to read 5 notes. (Middle C up to the note G) There is a notated example at the end of the PowerPoint showing Hot Cross Buns. This is an opportunity to test understanding and ask students questions about the music.

A very short test that requires students to name the note on the keyboard. Really useful for checking that all students have understood how to find each of the notes. Just twelve questions and can be completed in just a few minutes to double check that there are no misunderstandings.

This resource contains 4 PowerPoints. They cover short assessments allowing you to assess the understanding of keyboard layout, the treble clef notes from middle C up to G, the treble clef notes in the spaces and on the lines. These are quick and easy assessments that give a clear snapshot of any misunderstandings or confusion. All four PowerPoints are timed so that there are just ten seconds to answer each question. Included in this resource is a copy of a Find the Keyboard Note quiz as a pdf to print and use to reinforce current understanding.

Fully timed PowerPoint that allows students to double check there understanding of the notes in the spaces for treble clef. The PowerPoint consists of just four questions, and the questions are automatically timed so that there are just 10 seconds to answer each one. There is a running countdown from 5 to 1 for each question. This is part of my treble clef and keyboard resource on TES that has a timed PowerPoint test for note from middle C up to G, the Notes on the Lines, the Notes in the Spaces and naming the keyboard note.

Two PowerPoints that guide the students through reading notes in the treble clef. The first Powerpoint goes through reading the five notes from middle C up to the note G step-by-step. The second Powerpoint goes through how to identify the notes on the lines and in the spaces of the treble clef. It details instruments that use the treble clef and shows pictures of them. There is also a Name the Note sheet to check for understanding.
