How to Teach Notes to Children
One of the main obstacles to learn to read musically..(believe it
or not) is the size of the notes on the page. When they are that small, it is hard to see where they are on the staff. This
is really confusing for kids. They are 20+ inches away from the page and then we ask them to count lines and spaces. Even
if they CAN do this, it is INVALUABLE to have the SLIDE-A-NOTE NOTEFINDER around
to pick up, match the note, and count the LARGE lines and spaces. When you have those large lines and spaces to count,
children will succeed at identifying anchor notes (Middle C, D E A and B), then the surrounding notes. Reviewing notes
with the SLIDE-A-NOTE one minute a day is all your going to need. HINT: When you review your notes with the NOTEFINDER, Say
the note 1st, then play it. (SAY-PLAY). If you do these things, your children will read notes. PLEASE SEND ME YOUR QUESTIONS
---this is important!
