WOW!! What a creative teaching strategy!! I have a question though: I see how this helps reading the notes, but how exactly does it help with timing?? Like a white cat? a black frog? like that? That’s amazing! WOW!! What a creative teaching strategy!!

Since Standard Notes are quite hard for young children to relate to, I have made each note an animal, in most cases its head. Each of the animals' names starts with the letter that the Standard Note is normally identified by, C is a Cat, etcetera. In beginning piano, we normally teach nine notes, from the F below middle C to the G above middle C. This means we have two Fs and two Gs. So the child can differentiate between the lower F and G and the high F and G, I have made them different animals. For example, the lower F is a Fish that is down in the lake and the upper F is a frog that can sit on a log or lilly pad. It is amazing how much this helps my young students learn to read notes and timing, enabling them to play the piano and enjoy music. Thank you for your question Aubrey.
