Are your students finding it difficult to remember their note names? Why not try help them using flashcards? I was looking for flashcards with the notes in different values, but I couldn't find any, so I made these!

Are your piano students struggling to remember their note names? Mine were, so I made these cards for them! I laminated them and I always have them in my teaching bag.

This is where these cards come in! I have them on the stand for them as they play the apps the first few ti

My students were able to tell the difference between the three notes, and play these pieces easily. I like to get s
