Note Name Recognition: Testing With Teacher's Copy & Relays

Submitted by Andrea Cope, Texas

Idea posted 2002-10-30

When students test for me, they have to use my copy of the music, which doesn't have note names. Sure, they've memorized the first page or two, but then it gets more complicated and they actually have to read.

We also do a lot of relay race type games. Put 'em into teams, and have them race to read or write a word on a staff on the board.
