Report #1. A picture is worth thousands [strike]words[/strike] dollars.


Did you ever have a chance to see such an image before?(I tried my best learning how to work with GIF files yesterday).*

Piano keys are glorious extensions of the Grand Staff. Turn your sheet music 90 degrees and you will “see” the piano keys about which we speak one for each line and space.

Now, please, explain me: why don’t we see this picture in every music beginner’s book?





Just think of the time, money and effort that have been saved by giving us this picture!

The visual key guide pictured below helps beginning pianists navigate around the keyboard and notation.

Now tell me: why we don’t have such landmark in front of eyes of every beginner?

The ultimate excuse that I usually hear is: children may develop wrong piano technique by receiving extra visual support.

Now, my readers, please, tell me: does it make any sense to you?

You may download my free Piano Guides here and follow my tip from this page. Share YOUR experience with me about playing with and without visual support.

This is all what I had to share with you for today.

In my second report I will explain reasons for immediately using both hands with a beginning piano student. I will explain how this can be done to promote not only better coordination, but even more spectacular brain development.

Sincerely,

Hellene Hiner
