Identifies a single note by ear from the marked choices.

Topic

Your ears are detectives! Listen to the mystery sound, follow the clues and find the right key.

Prior knowledge

Teacher note

The whole class can close their eyes and listen, then one student finds the note. Ask: is it higher or lower? The marked keys are the choices; the answer is not shown.

  2. A new mystery sound! Which of the two marked keys is it?
  3. Now there are three choices. Listen and find it.
  4. These notes are very close together. Listen carefully!
  5. Find the mystery note.
