This economical, but well-designed set of Flash Cards is targeted for all beginning music students. It is especially helpful for those (children and adults) who are learning keyboards, harps, or beginning band instruments. Music teachers and homeschooling parents may enjoy having this little set as a fun, "go-to" activity that builds music theory, critical thinking, sight-reading, and vocabulary. Games using the cards can create interest and opportunities for additional practice.
In my quest to learn the harp and to share music with others, I wanted a quick, non-electronic, and easy-to-read method to learn / review musical notes, terms, and symbols. At the time, Amazon had several types of products in this area. I took some time to decide which product would be best for me. I selected this set, and that choice has proven to be a good one! This is a nice, easy-to-read / easy-to-understand set of flash cards, and the colors do seem to stimulate one's mind, memory. Eye-glass wearers will appreciate the big, dark fonts on these cards.
What's nice is that the cards are two-sided with the teaching item on front and its answer on back. Apparently, some flash card sets in music do not have the answers on back; I read this in one Amazon review. What's the point of having the card if you don't have the meaning with it? Fortunately, this 89 Color-Coded Flash Card set gives the learner and teacher both sides of the situation, which is most appreciated!) Cards 3 through 36 show the named notes as they would appear on the musical staff as well as their location on piano / keyboard.
I purchased "Complete Color Coded Flash Cards for All Beginning Music Students" (5.25 x 4.125 x 2.875, 89 cards) by Alfred Publishing, "Music Flash Cards Set A (Hal Leonard Student Piano Library)" ( 6 x 3 x 1.125, 126 cards) by Jeff Schroedl Blake, and "Music Flash Cards set B (Educational Piano Library)" (6 x 3 x 1.125, 138 cards) by Hal Leonard Corp. Henceforth these will be referred to as "Complete Set," "Set A," and "Set B," respectively.
Each sells for full retail on Amazon, $4.95. None are laminated. None come in a box; each has only a cardboard wrap (secured with a rubber band) that covers where the face, spine, and back of book would be. All have answers on back along with card numbers. All are color coded for different areas of study. The Complete Set and Set A both show the notes on the piano keyboard relative to Middle C.
Complete Set (89 cards)
* cards 1-36 (yellow): Bass Clef; Treble Clef; Bass clef notes Low C through E above Middle C; Treble clef notes A below Middle C through High C.
