Note Card Examples

Students are always welcome to come to the Music Room between 7:45-8:00am to work on their Vocabulary Flash Cards or Note Cards, or to ask questions!

Below are examples of what the 9 Note Cards should look like. These cards will be used in our Music Class Toolbox that includes the Music Vocabulary Cards, and should be turned in by no later than November 30th with the rest of the Flash Card Project. We will review how to create these cards in class, but you will need to finish them at home.

Early projects are always welcomed and will earn extra credit.

If Fourth and Fifth Graders have their cards from last year they may re-use them if they are in good condition and meet the requirements below (which are the same as last year).

Tips:

1. Use a straight edge and try to make all cards look as consistent as possible (same width of lines, etc). Cards done without a straight edge will have to be re-done.
2. Each card should have a treble clef and a whole note on each line or space, as pictured below.
3. The back of the card should have the letter name for each line or space note. Be consistent so that when you flip the card the answers will always be in the same area of the back of the card.
4. Don't use the LINED side of your cards--it will make your staff lines look blurry.
5. Line notes (from bottom to top): E-G-B-D-F  Space notes: F-A-C-E

Fifth Graders will have reversible cards--from one direction they will be Treble Clef cards, and Bass Clef when turned the other way.

Treble Clef: Line notes (from bottom to top): E-G-B-D-F  Space notes: F-A-C-E
Bass Clef: Line notes (from bottom to top): G-B-D-F-A Space notes: A-C-E-G

On the answer side be sure to show if the answer is for Treble or Bass Clef

Here are some fun worksheets to help you practice note identification!
