Piano intensive course for adults-beginners. Lesson 9

Today we will work on training our eyes to focus on lines and spaces.

Theory Modules this week is Fruit Lines^®

Goal

This module will help you to memorize and read quickly a corresponding note/key name for any line or space of the Bass and Treble staves.

You will be able to grasp music notation at once by immediately recognizing any music note location on any line or space.

Rules

Using the LEFT or RIGHT arrows, move the baskets to catch a note, represented as a fruit or flower bud, with a basket having the corresponding note name.

Green and brown trees represent vertical Treble and Bass staff lines.

Gradually they will change to traditional horizontal thin black lines. Use the SPACE key to make notes fall faster into the correct basket.

You have 90 levels and 10 different representations of the Bass and Treble staves to complete and finish the module.

Computer control keys

Be sure to switch Num Lock off if you use the number pad keys!
