In the Beginning…
Three Neglected Essential Elements of Reading

                      • Terminology and Location of the 10 Guide Notes on the KEYBOARD;
                      • Processing direction and distance on a music STAFF without a clef;
                      • Correlation of the SPACE on the keyboard with the PLACE on the staff.

In-Lesson Drills to promote an immediate and correct keyboard response
…In the Beginning

What is the advantage of using this reading approach?

Hands and Fingers

– No-Position Reading…
The five fingers are not in a position – any finger can be on any note.
– Students learn to pay attention to starting finger number and Guide Note location
– Students do not ask “What position is this piece in?”

Notes
– Space and Place Context…. there is more than one “C”!
– Correct terminology in drills integrate
Guide Notes SPACE on the keyboard within their PLACE on the Grand Staff.

Directional  Reading
– The brain and the eyes are trained to see patterns of direction and distance
…rather than naming notes.
