Wow, a lot of work must have been put into this. I like the fact that note values are "bilingual" i.e. "quaver" and "crotchet". I remember when I was trying to remember the names of things and what they were. I could have used this.
This is fantastic! The formatting is really good. I remember not being quite sure when I first encountered some of those Italian terms.
I hadn't thought about that, but you are very right. I think that the same thing happens with those who are overly reliant on sheet music when it comes to memory.
Oh, I actually like this quite a bit. I use all kind of "cheat sheets" for computer stuff like editors (vi/vim, emacs) and basic commands in all kinds of stuff. As in, a three-ring binder stuffed full of laminated reference pages. Good work!Maybe one of these days I'll learn with the aid of a similar tool to read the C clef moveable fluently!I like the idea, and at first glance, it's undoubtedly useful to many people.A+! Good stuff.
The only issue I have with printing it off and using it constantly is that it then becomes an integral tool required to be used.
I hadn't imagined people would use it like that.
We have a big A0 printer at our school (You read right), so I might see if I can try and get this printed.
Neither had I. Nor would I. In fact, I can't actually imagine it being used that way. I see it as a reference to go to, and a learning aid. For ANY tool, its effectiveness or harm depends on how it's used. Here a teacher's guidance might come in. How do you study / how do you learn things?
Students who have the letters stuck on each piano key really take a lot longer to remember the names of notes they play.
...I also take your point about using reference sheets to help find the notes on the staff but I've never had a student who felt the need to do that. It might be the way I teach or maybe just coincidence....
How do you feel about using mnemonics for the lines and spaces though?
