Notation Ideas

  • Address prerequisite skills (Matching, color/letter/number recognition, sequencing)

through song.

  • Use letters, numbers colors (use stickers on the keys...word of caution...this is a last

resort)

  • Use a dry erase marker on the keys and fade prompts.
  • Color Play
  • Piano cards
  • Stair step visual
  • Use/write songs to teach concepts (there’s that skill set!) Ex: I knew you were treble,

music alphabet,

  • Occupational Octaves books
  • Music notation software (muse score) to create music with no writing on the page

(eliminate distractions), make it bigger, add letter names

  • Highlight to help keep the place
  • Use a pointer
  • Piano Maestro App

My Teaching System

  • Name the notes
  • Observe steps/skips/large intervals/hand shifts
  • Tap the rhythm (split LH and RH if needed)
  • Locate starting hand position.
  • Sight Read (split LH and RH if needed)
  • Play again
  • Listen to a teacher demo or recording.
  • Play again
  • Review next time!
