Use the TRIANGLE Note Reading Books for students in Alfred's Premier Piano Course.

The Mister Bass Clef® teaches PIANO Note Reading series was developed to ensure learning the names of the notes and their positions on the keyboard.

What makes the series successful:

• New notes are introduced and reinforced through Say and Play Sheets.
• The Say and Play Sheets are timed making them exciting for the student and giving them a goal to reach.
• Fingering constantly changes to prevent the student from associating a certain note with a specific finger.
• The Practice Sheets in the back of the book can be used by a parent who doesn't know the note names or for self study.

The Say and Play Sheets should be studied until the student can say each exercise in 15 seconds or less and play each exercise in 15 seconds or less (ignoring the time value of the notes). When the student says the exercise, the teacher or parent may choose to point to the notes from left to right or from right to left to prevent memorizing. Students should play all the exercises from left to right as the teacher points to each note. The teacher or parent should not move on to the next note until it is said or played correctly by the student.

Before playing a Say and Play Sheet or one of the songs in Level 1A, the student should first find the hand positions to be used by locating the fingering for the left hand below the staff and the fingering for the right hand above the staff.

LEVEL 1A
