As I mentioned in my Summer Cleaning in the Studio post, in an effort to clear out some shelf space in my studio closet, I finally decided to go digital with my binders full of music theory worksheets.
This is what my setup has looked like for years and it has served me well. Currently when I’m creating or downloading worksheets for use in my studio, I’m more apt to just store them on my computer, but these binders contained worksheets from years ago, many of which I can’t even find online anymore!
So I set about the task of scanning each of them in, saving them to my desktop, and then organizing them in Evernote using the tag system.
In my Piano Studio Notebook I created a tag for “worksheets” and then sub-tags for specific areas like “Composition,” “Intervals,” “Rhythm,” etc. I added a New Note for each worksheet, inserting the scanned PDF file and tagging it accordingly. Now I can easily browse an entire category or search for a specific key word to find a worksheet, then print an appropriate worksheet as needed for a student. I think this will actually be even more efficient than my binder system in the long run and will certainly provide greater versatility for virtual lessons as well!
