"Know the Scale" Worksheets
This handout allows students to practice learning any major scale in multiple ways. Students can fill out the note names (in any 1 octave range), and they also list the note letter names. In addition, they fill in their correct fingerings using a blank template underneath each note. The PDF's are also formatted to "type into" if you wish to do some of the work for students ahead of time. I tend to print one of these for each scale students are learning, so they'' end up with 7-12 of these.
