📈 HOW IT'S SEQUENCED
Every stage runs the same three steps:
1️⃣ LEARN — a student guide introduces the rule
2️⃣ PRACTICE — identification and notation worksheets
3️⃣ CHECK — a checkpoint before the next stage builds on it
Stage 1 — Sharp keys (the last-sharp rule)
Stage 2 — Flat keys (the second-to-last-flat rule)
Stage 3 — All 15 keys mixed

⭐ WHY TEACHERS PICK THIS ONE
🎯 BOTH KEY NAMES, EVERY SHEET. Major and relative minor, always. There is no majors-only sheet anywhere in this unit, because treating minor as a separate topic is why students find it hard.
🎼 TREBLE AND BASS TOGETHER. Every worksheet covers both clefs — one unit for the whole studio, not two purchases.
🔁 MATCHED A AND B VERSIONS. Retest, make-up work, or a second attempt on fresh questions instead of remembered answers.
🖨️ BLACK AND WHITE. Prints clean on any school copier. No colour budget required.
📝 NO PREP. Numbered files, print in order, answer keys at the back of each PDF.
