Listening assignment - "Earth Song" by Frank Ticheli
Sight Reading Factory is currently offering free trials. Click on the button below to try it out!
Select your voice part (soprano, alto, tenor (treble-8 clef), or bass. Then, for level, choose "custom" and you are able to select which rhythms you are comfortable with. I recommend the whole note, half note, quarter note, eighth note, half rest, and quarter rest (or any combination of those rhythms). Keep "pitches" in the range that is given (it is defaulted at do-do). On that same page you can select "leaps no greater than" and then choose the interval. I recommend 2nd (which would mean all notes are next to each other and go up and down the scale in order) or 3rds (meaning there would be some small jumps). For "time signature" choose anything in 4. (In class we usually use 4/4.) For "key signature" choose C major. If you are comfortable you can explore other key signatures (which would just mean that "do" is a different note). After all custom settings are complete, click on "free play" and have fun! Try to read the notes before playing them. If they are too fast, click on the "metronome" setting and lower the setting.

Interval recognition:
For recognizable songs used to identify intervals:
http://www.easyeartraining.com/learn/interval-reference-songs-that-youve-actually-heard-of/
Ear training:
There is a tab for note identification (which may be too much), but scroll down to find the ear training section.
http://www.musictheory.net/exercises
The next site allows you to hear intervals in different positions and ascending or descending. This is a listening tool.

Theory:
This site gives LESSONS on different music theory topics! Very helpful!
http://www.8notes.com/theory/
This site allows you to practice note names, key signatures, or solfege names (which you need to know key signatures for).
