Fingerboard Geography Teaching Aid - Free!

 

If you teach in a classroom that has access to a smartboard or projector, here is a free tool for you!  I use this type of visual all the time in my orchestra classes.  I incorporate these slides into my daily lesson plan for students to practice various finger patterns. 

Simply drag and drop the notes/fingerings to the fingerboard.  Use as a teaching tool in your own presentations by screen snipping the graphic or copy/paste into your own google slide.   You can also use a copy of these slides as a template for online student worksheets.  For example, share a slide with students and have them drag and drop the notes for the D major scale.
