Piano intensive course for adults-beginners. Lesson 13

    Treble Staff Puzzle^®

Goal:

This module as well as Bass Staff Puzzle^®  in 4 weeks will help you to memorize the position of any music note on the Treble and Bass staves.

Rules

Use Left or Right arrow on the computer keyboard to place music notes on corresponding lines and spaces of the Bass or Treble staff. 

Use the Space key to make a note fall faster if the note is in the correct position.

The correctly positioned note images compose a picture and give you points.

Every completed picture opens a part of the portrait of Mozart in the right part of the screen.

You have 49 different pictures to open Mozart's portrait and finish the module.

Beginners should start by only playing for a short time.

Please, contact our professionals for your customized guide lines playing this module!

 Computer control keys

LEFT arrow  -         Move falling notes left or down.

RIGHT arrow  -       Move falling notes right or up.

Space key   -          Make note fall faster.

A    -                        Switch the program to Alphabetic (A, B, C ...) note names

I     -                         Switch the program to Italian (Solfeggio: Do, Re, Mi...) note  names

Ctr-X   -                   Exit the program.

 Note name convention

Soft Mozart^® uses both Alphabetical music notation - C, D, E, F, G, A and B,

and “Solfeggio” or Italian music notation - Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La and Ti.

 Program Keys

To switch to the Alphabetical name convention press computer key A.

To switch to the Italian name convention press computer key I.

We recommend...

...the use of the Italian (Solfeggio) note name convention for your voice/music ear development.

Italian Do-Re-Mi  note names are specially designed for singing. The singing of note names will help you to form a crucial musical skill to connect a pitch of a note with its name, and tie together your sight with hearing.

 Tips

• Play several notes in a row correctly (the number depends on the module stage) and the program will switch to the next level of difficulty. You will get more points for every correctly played note, but the notes will move faster.
• If you make two mistakes in a row, the module will switch to a lower level of difficulty. 

 Few words...

These modules train and develop a basic skill in music reading - to attribute any note name to a corresponding line on the Bass and Treble staves.

In the advanced level only the subconscious vision of the correspondence of lines and notes may help you to finish the module successfully.

When you master the module, you will be able to finish it in 25 minutes (13 minutes of the module time).

Use short 10-15 min time schedule for the first couple of days.

Please, contact our professionals for your customized  guidelines for playing this module!
