You can also practice your Essential Elements book online through this link:
https://www.essentialelementsinteractive.com/
Your book will have an activation code on the first page.
If you want to have a look at music theory, that counts towards your two hours. You can use this website to practice:

Make sure to only practice Treble clef if you’re a woodwind or a trumpet. Baritone, trombone, and bass should practice bass clef.
Thank you, Maria! An eager music student found our website and reached out to share another resource that looks terrific: https://www.theaterseatstore.com/blog/guide-to-music-theory . I’m not sure where in the world Maria lives, but thank you for visiting our site and thanks for the suggestion. Happy practicing! (added 14 March 2024)
