Learn Your Notes!
As students of music, it is critical that they know how to read music from the staff. This can be tedious at first but we like to use both physical and digital flashcards to help make the process much more fun! One of the best Apps that we've found out there is Flashnote Derby. If you have been around during our lessons, you've probably noticed some of our students practicing their note reading on the IPAD with this app. We love this app for children and adults because it makes it so fun to learn!
I highly recommend that the student work on their notes at home as well, incorporating it into their practice time. As of right now, the app is only $3! Quite a bargain for a fun way to learn your notes!
If you click on the website here, it will take you to the app page. Click on the device you want to load the app to and it will direct you to that page. As of right now, I know that it is available on IOS and Kindle tablets directly. It says it is available for Android on the Google Play store, but have not seen it there. If you do want to load the App on Android devices there is a work around by downloading it through Amazon app Store. Here is a walk through of how to download the Amazon Apps store to your phone or android tablet: How to install Amazon App Store
Once the Amazon App Store is loaded on your Android phone or tablet, Click Here to download the app.
Click here for the tutorial on the official page. Scroll down towards the bottom and there is a 90 second video that shows how to use the app. You can even use it with a piano and hit the keys to trigger a response on the app!
Happy learning!

We've had so many requests for an additional resource for learning notes on the staff outside of the app mentioned above. We put together this video to help beginning students to learn their notes quickly while having fun with it! I've also added a printable PDF document below to have a physical copy on hand to help students for quick reference. This would be great to print out and keep right in your binder!
