Alfred's Basic Piano Library Flash Cards, Bk 1A & 1B: 102 Cards That Can Be Used by Any Beginning Student, Flash Cards (Alfred's Basic Piano Library, Bk 1A & 1B)

These flashcards are the most basic element of my toolkit as a piano teacher. No matter which lesson book my students are using, these cards supplement their learning and increase their music literacy. By recognizing the written notes and immediately knowing the corresponding key, their ability to read a new piece of music is enhanced, in the same way that we learn to read and sound out our letters before learning to read words. Over time, you no longer stop to sound out each word but can simply read it off the page. The same process occurs with note-reading and soon the process of figuring out which note it is, figuring out which key goes with it, then playing becomes as fluent as reading letters off a page.I recommend the John W. Schaum series of piano method books, but when a student has had prior lessons with a different teacher, we just continue in whichever books they've already purchased. These cards allow us to fill in any gaps in their learning in these situations.There is a measurable increase in fluency and speed of reading when these cards are used as part of the basic regimen both in lessons and during their at-home practice time.

This helped my students so much in their ability to read notes and music.Highly recommend adding to your music library.There are notes on each card saying where each concept was first introduced in the Alfred Piano series.Highly highly recommend

The flash cards are perfect for anyone trying to learn the piano and all the keys and what the notes look like. This is a great tool!

These are yet another tool to get the information into the brain. As a beginning piano student they follow along with the Alfred's basic piano course lesson book level 1.

These flash cards are great for helping my little pianist become familar with the notes of the piano and theory of music.

I am an adult relearning to play piano Suzuki method. I am advancing rapidly and relearning to read music as I did when i was younger . I put them on a binder ring and can flip thru them to speed up my note recognition, and all the other signs in music. Size easy to read . Great for child or adult to learn or refresh reading skills .

These flash cards are well designed and are easy to us and understand no matter how much or how little musical training a person has. Great for introductory piano students or to use as a refresher for intermediate students.

These cards are consistent with the look and feel my son is currently working in. The images are easy to understand and includes the correct note on the opposite side.

Very helpful

Just what I was looking for, usually I make my own flash cards for any project that I'm studding, a real time saver and great to use too, so now I can brush up on theory and test myself at the same time, what a boon.

I like these cards, they're very helpful for helping me memorise those notes , especially the ones of the pentagram!I sit on the sofa and review them during the breaks!Very useful!

Amazing book, I use it with my kids at home and they love the songs too, simply the best : )
