HOW TO LEARN TO READ NOTES
 
The BIG question! Let me answer. One of the main obstacles to learn notes properly (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 children. 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 WRIGHT WAY NOTEFINDER around for them to pick up, match the note, and count the LARGE lines and spaces. This is a big anxiety eliminator! When you have those large lines and spaces to count, and review the names and placement of the notes on the staff...your children will succeed at identifying first the anchor notes (Middle C, D E A and B), then the surrounding notes. Reviewing notes with the WRIGHT WAY NOTE-FINDER one minute a day, is truly all your going to need. HINT: When you review your notes with the NOTEFINDER, your children need to play the note after they say it. This is called"SAY-PLAY". If you do these things, your children will read notes.
