Recognizing the look, feel and sound of intervals is essential for developing successful music readers. It’s so much more efficient! Instead of identifying individual pitches, eyes, ears and fingers only need to measure the distance between them.

WHY THIS RESOURCE?

There are plenty of apps and games that drill pitch reading, but not nearly as many that offer interval identification drills.

That’s where Royal 9 will serve you well. This regal-looking set of flashcards and companion instructions will help your students master intervals because it’s a step above your typical flash card game for three reasons:

#1 It not only features intervals notated on the staff but also on the keyboard.

#2 Unlike most other flash card sets, minor, augmented and diminished intervals are included.

#3 Because intervals go up AND down, descending intervals are not forgotten and are notated in three different keys.

#4 The deck comes with clear instructions for over a dozen unique, innovative games with “dignified” names usually reserved for royalty! 

Why the title Royal 9? Because, it holds great respect in the kingdom of intervals.

Hint: A 7th going up lands on the same key as a 2nd going down.

7 + 2 = 9

In the ten-page instruction guide, you’ll find directions on how to play over a dozen games for one, two or 9(!) students that will engage students and reinforce their knowledge of intervals.
