Master over 30 music notes on both the treble and bass staff
Notebusters: Complete Edition helps beginning and intermediate music students improve their ability to read and play sheet music through timed exercises and repetition. The workbook covers over 30 notes on both staves and is printed on 8.5 x 11 inch paper, similar to the size of standard sheet music.
A must-have supplemental tool for all beginning and intermediate music students
Notebusters was created by an experienced music teacher who was dissatisfied with the lack of note reading practice in typical music theory books. Without properly learning how to sight-read, students can stagnate and lose motivation. Our workbooks address this gap with months of note-reading exercises that help music students quickly identify notes.
240 note-reading exercises broken into 6 sections that get progressively harder
Music note-reading exercises are broken into 6 sections that cover an increasing range of notes as the student progresses. The first three sections cover on-staff notes that appear on the treble, bass, and grand staves. The final three sections cover notes both on and off-staff (ledger line notes).
Each one-minute exercise in Notebusters: Complete Edition contains 24-25 music notes for the student to identify. Every section includes clear instructions and an easily accessible answer key. After every five exercises, students are challenged to play the notes from that day’s exercise on their instrument of choice. Notebusters’ workbooks also contain a brief overview of the most common note-reading methods. After completing the workbook, students will have identified just under 6,000 music notes. Sample exercises from the workbook are shown below.
