I stumbled on Quizlet this morning while searching for an easy way to help students remember the order and definition of tempo terms. My favorite element is the "Space Race" game where you can improve both your typing skills and music knowledge as you race to "kill" the term by typing in its name or definition before it slides off the screen.
In Piano there are over 600 flashcard sets, or you can create your own customized set. Following are just a few of the concepts quizlet could be useful for:
Articulations
Key Signatures
Theory Terms
Tempos
Note Names
Certificate of Merit
Piano Composers and their Historical Periods
I have created several quizlet sets to review theory terms and also have links to others organized by level on my Piano Lab page.
Quizlet Music Theory Terms & Signs Level 2 (Hal Leonard)
Quizlet Music Theory Terms & Signs Level 3
Quizlet Music Theory Terms & Signs Level 4
Quizlet Music Theory Terms & Signs Level 5
I would have loved this in grade school! It's definitely more fun than ordinary 3x5 cards I used to study in school. Something about having the message pop up at the end that says "Good Start... now beat that score, " just makes me want to play again :).
I was grateful to be sidetracked, although I didn't find the answer to my original search. Does anyone have a great acronym, story, etc. to help students remember the order of tempo terms?
The best I can come up with involves a
Grandfather (Grave)
L (Largo)
L (Larghetto)
L (Lento)
A (Adagio)
A (Andante)
A (Andantino)
M (Moderato)
A (Allegretto)
A (Allegro)
(llama)
aspiring to be the
Vice (Vivace)
President (Presto)
P (Prestissimo)
