Violin

Level 1 Note Reading Practice

This exercise is great for getting to know the note names and which finger you use to play them on the instrument. I recommend it for beginners who are just starting to read music on their instrument.

Level 2 Note Reading Practice

These exercises are great for helping students to remember which note is which once they have a good understanding of how to play each note. I recommend it for students who know what the notes are called to play them, but are still struggling to remember which note is which when reading music.

Level 3 Note Reading Practice (IOS Devices Only)

This exercise is unfortunately, only available for Apple devices. It utilizes your device's microphone to determine whether or not you are playing the note it is displaying. It is very similar to the Level 2 note reading exercises, but allows students to apply their knowledge to the instrument. I highly recommend it if you can access it as I find that many students struggle to match up their knowledge of the notes on the instrument with their knowledge of notes on the staff.
