Abstract
A system for teaching music theory. The system includes a music theory teaching methodology worksheet having: a starting section; a note teaching section; and a circle of fifths chart. Each of the starting section, the note teaching section, and the circle of fifths chart comprise fillable fields that are fillable by a user of the worksheet.
Claims28
A system for teaching music theory implemented on a computing device having a processor, the system comprising:
- a graphical user interface controlled by the processor;
- a music theory teaching methodology worksheet provided on the graphical user interface, the music theory teaching methodology worksheet having:
- a starting section;
- a note teaching section;
- and
- a circle of fifths chart,
- wherein each of the starting section, the note teaching section, and the circle of fifths chart comprise fillable fields that are fillable by a user of the worksheet;
- and
- guidance instructions provided on the graphical user interface overlayed over the music theory teaching methodology worksheet and/or audibly for guiding a user to fill in the fillable fields,
- wherein the guidance instructions depict one or more guide lines connecting the starting section to the circle of fifths chart or one or more guide lines connecting different regions of the circle of fifths chart and/or audibly describe a relationship of the one or more guide lines connecting the starting section to the circle of fifths chart or the one or more guide lines connecting different regions of the circle of fifths chart.
