學習閱讀音符！初學者快速課程

Does your learner want to begin their musical journey? A good first step is learning to read notes. This class is for beginners wanted to learn to read the notes on a staff to help them with their singing, playing their instrument, and the study of music. This class is very welcome to students who have started learning instruments or take an interest in playing instruments. 

In a sense, learning to read notes is like learning a new language, and to gain fluency, practice is different exercises are very helpful. In this class I will teach students all of the fundamentals of reading notes, and have games and challenges so that they can work on quick recall of the notes. I always like to move around different methods of learning one thing because it helps to practice something in different ways, and it will appeal to all different types of learners. 

Specifcally speaking, we will learn about the grand staff, the clefs, time signatures, where all the notes are, rhythm, key signatures, patterns, and intervals. I create lots of visuals in my lessons to help students learn to make sure the lesson is fun as well as informative. I will also bring up musical examples so we can see music in context. 

I want to move at the pace of the students so I choose to make this class ongoing instead of a more structured class. Within a few weeks students should be able to identify all the notes on the staff, and weekly practices will help them increase their speed at recognition - just like with reading - the word "the" is the word "the", and the F is on the bottom space of the treble staff.

Everyone is welcome!
