Piano Safari: Note Name Cards

Although we believe that intervallic reading is the primary way students should learn to read music, a secure and instantaneous recognition of every note on the staff is also imperative. The Piano Safari Note Name Cards may be assigned at the beginning of Piano Safari Level 2 when this concept is introduced, or you may opt to begin the process earlier, during Piano Safari Level 1.

The Piano Safari Note Name Cards are ordered from low C to high C. However, this is not a practical order to introduce the cards to students. Therefore, three possible Introduction Approaches are provided. A card for each Introduction Approach is included for the teacher to track the student’s progress.
