Flash Cards for Learning to Read Music - Free to Download and Print

Learn how to read music with free printable flash cards

Sunday, September 27th 2020

Learning to recognize notes on the staff is a necessary part of playing music from sheet music. Ideal learning for all music instruments, like beginner piano and guitar students who are learning and want help to memorize the music notes. It is even a great way to refresh your knowledge too. Reading music will allow you to play a much richer variety in music and understand music fundamentals (scales, chords, rhythms) more easily than purely playing by ear or other notational systems. Just like reading any language, it only gets easier! Join in our Learn to Read Music with Flashcards music online class and start learning the notes with our expert teachers at Lessonface.

We created these music flashcards to help online music learners memorize the names of the notes on the staff. The templates below are made to print easily on home or office printers. They are completely free to use and share (not for re-sale).

Question

Dear Maritess,

I just signed up to obtain the free flashcards print out. I live in England and need to be sure that I have not committed myself to anything else. Would you be kind enough to reassure me that this is so?

With thanks,

Claudia Powell Fisher
