Includes 8 cards (16 pages):

• Note Names with Staff Reference – One-octave layout of note names, paired with staff notation covering C2 to C7

• Intervals – shows all 13 intervals from unison to octave, arranged so each interval is paired with its inversion, highlighting how intervals complement each other within the octave.
