Note name flashcards
Free note name flashcards to print: 12 treble clef notes and 12 bass clef notes. Fold each card so the note is on the front and its letter name is on the back.
Each card shows one note on the staff. The letter name is on the back. Pages one and two hold the treble clef notes from middle C up to the G above the staff. Pages three and four hold the bass clef notes from the F below the staff up to middle C.
How to make them
Print the pages your child needs. A violin or flute student needs the treble clef pages. A cello student needs the bass clef pages. A piano student needs all four. Cut along the dashed lines. Fold each piece in half on the dotted line, with the print on the outside, and tape or glue it shut. The note is now on the front and its name is on the back.
How to use them
Start with three cards. Show the front, wait for the letter, and turn the card over to check. Add one new card when the others come fast. Two minutes a day does more than one long session a week.
For a game, spread the cards face up and call a letter. Your child slaps a card with that note. Or deal the cards into two piles and take turns. A right answer keeps the card.
Only the sheet below prints. It fits letter and A4 paper. For a clean page, turn off headers and footers in the print window.
