The following 20 question exercises are from www.musictheory.net. Use them to practice the skills we cover in class.
Ladder Challenge
Under each exercise is a leaderboard of the fastest completion times. To get your name on the leaderboard, copy the verification code you receive after completing the challenge and email it to me, or post it in the comments below. You can retake the challenge as much as you like, but you have to score 100% correct to be on the leaderboard.
Note: you can only post scores for the exercises assigned to your current theory class. For example, if you are doing “Advanced Rudiments”, you can’t post a score for a challenge under “Basic Rudiments”. Cheating will ban you from the leaderboard.
At the end of the term, I’ll be handing out sweet-tooth prizes for the top performers, so practise hard!
Beat the Teacher
Think you’re better than me? Try to beat the teacher times below! If you somehow manage to accomplish this utterly ludicrous and totally impossible task, I’ll compose a special short piece of music dedicated to you.
