Notereading - Another Language

October 3, 2012 at 2:19 AM

It is a challenge to think of different ways to try to help students improve their notereading skills. One way I used that seemed to help is to compare the music notes to words. Sometimes the student only sees individual letters and not the entire "word." I introduce this in a way that is conducive to the piece they are learning. For example of it is a string of eight eighth notes, I ask the student to see it four notes at a time like a word and have them play that word. Then do the same for the next four and then put the two words together.
