Besides MMM, you can also use the printed flash cards Mrs. Petty hands out or work on the flash card websites linked above.
MAD MUSIC MINUTE---Go to http://www.secondrunnerup.com/mmm2/ to make your own.
1. Choose your clef (Treble, Alto or Bass)
2. Choose your range (ranges listed at the bottom of this page)
3. Click on "Row" near the top right
4. Click on each row, left column, to generate the quantity of questions (I recommend that you click them all) The "0" for flats and sharp will already be chosen. If you want to practice with 1 or 2 sharps or flats, then click those as well.
5. Title your assignment with your instrument and the works practice like this "Trumpet Practice" or "Viola Practice." Findn the title sheet on the bottom left side of the page.
6. Then click "Generate Worksheet" under the title box.
7. You can print or trash that one and try again. Make as many as you need. When you trash it, it comes back as a different version.
