Music Theory resources for teachers
With COVID-19 sending classes online, this webpage is designed to provide teachers with FREE online music theory exercises, as well as guide for customizing these tools to your needs. These can be used by students of all ages from beginning students to advanced theory courses, band, choir, orchestra, you name it! PLEASE SHARE this with any music teacher across the world so we can build a community to support each other.
These exercises utilize the free website musictheory.net. They can be done on any PC, Mac, Chromebook, tablet, or phone.
Each time a student does an exercise, their progress is graded & recorded, and they can simply send their teacher a link which shows their score.
The only disadvantage is that you cannot see which specific questions they scored correctly or incorrectly (this is a free resource after all).
Note: I am not being paid nor is the information on these pages a promotion for any of the services I provide tutorials/exercises for. They are simply tutorials/exercises that I have used with my students In the past and would like to share my knowledge and experiences with other teachers in hope that these resources help in even the smallest way possible.
