Music Theory Puzzles
Learning music theory symbols can be enhanced with puzzles from the book What's Missing? Volume 2. In these puzzles, students are asked to compare two pages covered with musical symbols and circle what is missing. Puzzles include various lengths of notes and rests, plus dynamic markings, slurs, and sharps and flats. The puzzles are printed in extra large font, to provide appeal and ease of use for young beginners.
Sample pages are shown below. The main puzzle consists of 1A and 1B, shown on opposite pages in the book for easy comparison. The answer key is contained in the back of the book.

Interval Exercises for Flexible Instrumentation
Interval Exercises are a set of pedagogy materials which are easily adapted to multiple solo and ensemble formats, including both instrumental and vocal. Written with flexible instrumentation in treble, alto, and bass clef, these exercises show all intervals from m2 to P8, beginning below each staff and moving to notes above the staff. A sample page is located below:
Teaching both music theory and ear training skills at the same time is now easy and affordable, with these exercises at $2 each from MusicaNeo.
Interval Exercises can be integrated into music education curricula from late elementary school through high school and college/university. Additional information is available on the Schottenbauer Publishing website, and from the links below.
