Now after you teach the student where all the C’s are and where middle C is. Here is your middle C. The next thing to teach the child is where A is. And then teach him where all the A’s are. A, A, A and higher up on the piano, everywhere on the piano because in this method, we are going to teach from A. For instance, A. This A below the space on the step is where we begin from as you will see in the lesson.
So, in this lesson, this will be the moment to keep going over and over. It does not matter what finger they will you can play with. Teach them where all the A’s are until they can find them without any delay. After that, try to begin depending on how young the child is, they know the alphabet. This is A, B, C, D, E, F, G. A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
Now those of you who learned with the do, re, mi, it is la, ti, do, re, mi, fa, so, la , ti, do, re, mi, fa, so. So there, teach them where middle C is. We have a lesson on learning where middle C is. Then teach them where is middle A. Then the next A going down, that is the most space of the grand stuff. A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
You see, after they learn where middle A is, and can find the A below that. They can begin to learn the grand staff which is organized from. This lower space A, B, C, D, E, F, G and the next one is A, B, C, D, E, F, G. A, B, C, D, E, F, G. So you see the grand staff covers three repetitions from the notes A to G, A to G, A to G.
Now those of you who learn with the do ,re ,mi it starts on la.
La, ti,do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do, re, mi, fa, sol. Again, A, B, C, D, E, F, G. A, B, C, D, E, F, G. A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
When you can teach the student to understand this, then he can begin to read music. A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Go over and over with this. A, B, C, D, E, F, G and you put it together with the grand staff.
First, you have to get the keyboard memorized, understand the lay out of the keyboard and how the notes are organized and arranged. La, ti, do, re, mi, fa, sol and it the same all over the piano.
So then to recap, you have two black notes, three black notes all over the piano. And the note the base side on the left of the two black notes is C, two notes from down, down from that, two notes down from C is A. So teach them where all the A’s are, find middle A, and the A below that is where you begin teaching from.
