Download these PDF files and cut out the boxes to randomise your scale practice

More cut out boxes in PDF format
Boxes for the other Grades will follow eventually
Aural training
Below is a download of two charts, in PDF format, to help with the AB Grade 8 Aural chord recognition tests. The charts show the chords possible over the bass notes on each degree of the scale. The pupil should learn to hear (and mentally sing - in sol-fa if possible) the bass notes of the progression played in the test
Miscellaneous
- Music Paper An excellent source of free score templates, from big staves for children
to full orchestral scores
- Metronome Online Try this rather splendid online metronome — very useful if you do not have one with you but happen to have a computer near your piano!
Fingerings
This a new section where, hopefully, we can share fingering solutions to notorious — or just plain difficult — passages. Please send your fingerings to contributions@musicandhealth.co.uk
These will all be PDF files.
