A metronome is an incredibly useful accessory to help students keep time. They can be purchased at any music store and come in all shapes and sizes. This online version is really easy to use and the dog can’t eat this one!!! Yes, I’ve actually heard that excuse!

This is a terrific site where you can print music paper. Choose blank paper or add your clef, time and key signatures. It’s free!

Ear training

Ear training CDs are available for purchase. They are designed to help with exercises based on the RCM syllabus. These recorded ear training practice sets are invaluable aids for students taking exams, in particular. Each CD is titled Perfection Ear along with the grade level.
