Remember
- Answer from the music in front of you, not from memory of another piece.
- Notes marked with letters: find every letter first, then read each note with the key signature and any accidental earlier in its bar.
- The questions are linked: the key you found in the first answer helps with a degree or an interval later.
If two answers seem possible, look again: only one of them fits what is printed.
