Note Speller, Book 1 (Revised)

This is exactly what I expected. A classic notespeller. Just what my student needed to reinforce concepts associated with note reading.

excellent student helper

Bueno

As a student, I was given a Note Speller as a tool to help me become better at sight-reading. It worked, and my sight-reading excelled to the point where I can read from hymnals with ease and read songs at my playing level. As a teacher, I use Note Spellers with my students for extra practice reading notes and to introduce students to concepts ahead of their lessons books. I expect to use these books for a very long time.

I have used quite a few different theory books and this is the best for reinforcing note recognition. It uses treble and bass, starting with identifying if notes are line or space notes, then numbering the lines then spaces. The book can be used from the very first lessons for all age groups. If a student is struggling to read having come from another tutor or is self taught this book helps improve confidence in this area. Done at a line a week from start the little an often habit can be established easily.
