More cut out boxes in PDF format
Boxes for the other Grades will follow eventually
Aural training
Below are 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.
