Description
49 unique cards; 20 randomised cards per play. Audio instructions automatically play with the first two cards. "Look at the Foreman's sign. Build that named triad by dragging and dropping the correct letter name blocks from under the table into their named position stacked on the table, then click the green submit button." This deck coordinates with Alfred's Basic Piano Library method books: Prep F Lesson Book pgs 10-15, Prep F Theory Book pgs 6-8, Basic Level 2 Lesson Book pgs 30-33, Basic Level 2 Theory Book pgs 21-23, Chord Approach Level 1 Lesson Book pg 26 and onwards, Chord Approach Level 1 Theory Book pg 23 and onwards. Diatonic triads refers to three-note chords stacked in thirds (line-line-line or space-space-space) and all "naturals", such as C Major. This deck does NOT rely on any sharps or flats for the sole purpose of focusing on building triads with letter names as viewed on the lines and spaces of a staff. No clef signs are mentioned in this deck. Some cards have one or two answers already pre-filled, which may be suitable for younger children. Cards can be filtered from your teacher account. This deck is suited for music students in ANY instrument, as it is not centred around a piano keyboard. Complies with audio and visual accessibility, but not motor accessibility. Due to the small drag & drop items, this deck is best suited for play on larger screens, such as desktop and laptop computers or iPads, but not mobile phones.
