Finger Pattern Worksheets for Orchestra
These multi-purpose worksheets are awesome for a variety of learning activities and for quizzes or tests. There are two pages of worksheets for each instrument (Violin, Viola, Cello, and Bass) featuring blank circles for every finger position in the most common 6 Keys (A, D, G, C, F, and Bb). Students can fill in the note names one key at a time, or you can have them fill in the names for all of them at once. Print them double-sided or single-sided. They are also effective inside a clear sheet protector with a dry erase marker. I plan to place them in my Music Binders (click here for the blog post) and use them regularly until every student is fast and accurate at filling in all the notes.
One more important note about these worksheets: there are TWO versions for each instrument. The first version has a small "Master Fingering Chart" in the top left corner for students to refer to. I plan to use this version the most in my classroom. However, the second version does NOT show the master chart, making it more useful as a quiz or test. Make sense? Got it? Let's make some copies and get our little string musicians playing killer music with all the RIGHT notes!

Fingering Chart Worksheets for Band
At last! Now you can quiz your students or use these free worksheets on a weekly basis to help all your young band musicians master and develop faster recall with the first 12 notes they learn in their beginning band method book. These fingering worksheets correlate perfectly with the StepWise fingering charts, and will probably not make sense to your students if they are not familiar with our way of showing the woodwind and brass fingerings. You can download our fingering charts by clicking HERE. A detailed description of how each instrument's chart can be used is available on the page for each instrument under our Band tab above, and some videos are also available on those pages.
A complete series of these worksheets, starting from the first 5 notes and progressing to the entire range of each instrument, will eventually be available. However, I find that if I can get all my students reading and fingering these first 12 notes competently, then it is easy to get them eventually reading and playing all the rest. This stage is where I have tended to lose some students in my beginning band...the stage at which we begin adding new notes to first five notes that are drilled pretty heavily in most method books. I hope you also find these fingering worksheets useful and hope you will contact us with any suggestions you may have! -Curtis Winters

Rhythm Analysis and Counting Chart
|
This chart can be placed in clear plastic sheet protectors so students can use dry erase markers on it over and over again. It allows a teacher to help students analyze any rhythm (with 8th note subdivision) in 3 ways:
1 - Notation - how the rhythm is written 2 - Duration - the relative length of each note 3 - Counting - how the rhythm is counted
