          Key Quiz
                  Test yourself to see if you can figure out what the flats or
                     sharps are of a given key.                       

                  You may wish to first check out this series of pages on
                 determining the key signature of a given scale:
                                The Order of Sharps
                     The Order of Flats
                     Determining the Key Signature of a Scale Page 1
                     Determining the Key Signature of a Scale Page 2

               And here's a map of the Circle of Fifths (explanation will follow)
         Links to other games, quizzes and drills available on the web:             
        (I've selected only ones that are free and without pop up ads)                

           Note Naming:
                 Cards to print - for games, flash card drill, etc.:
                    Blue Cards
                    Green Cards
                    Pink Cards   
                    Yellow Cards
                    Backs if you'd like to get fancy!  

                 “NoteCard” note reading drill at:
                  www.batchconverter.com/NoteCard-download-15063.shtml
                          This begins with only 2 notes, and adds one note for each increase in level, so is great
                                         for younger students and beginning readers (though it starts with low D).
                  
              Here's one with numerous music theory options you may wish to explore:        
                  http://www.emusictheory.com/practice.html
                          Choose “Note Names” then click on “Settings” in the upper left corner to set for
                                         “Treble Staff Only” (unless you play piano or a bass or alto clef instrument). You may
                                         also wish not to allow ledger lines in the beginning.  As you get faster you may wish to
                                         click on the link below the game: “Click here to go back to the list of practice drills"
                                         and then click on “Paced Note Names” for a more challenging speed workout.
               
                 And a fun note naming game for probably upper elementary on up. Try to  
                      let the note (on the staff) fall on its proper letter name without hitting     
                      the bomb:
