Directional Note Reading Cards
This set of cards for beginner stave readers includes 4 individual cards which can be inverted to make 8 different patterns with notes stepping up and down. Each A4 page can be cut into quarters to make each card 105mm by 148.5mm.
No clefs are placed, meaning the note can be any letter the teacher chooses. The teacher should visualize for themselves the four notes, and then tell the student a starting letter and finger number for either RH or LH. Ensure that the student can play the pattern within a 5 finger note range. After the student has correctly played the notes, then the teacher can turn the card upside-down, and the student can attempt the inverted version. The full set (cards 001-040) can be purchased here.
