Notes for Teachers - Book 1

This book builds on the Kodály approach to learning music. Here singing is vitally important for the learning process. Rather than singing sol-fa, the children should sing the monosyllabic names of the animals as they play the notes. In order to deepen their knowledge and strengthen the inner ear, students should learn to sing and play simultaneously. Please persist with this, even if the students are reluctant at first. The benefits will be truly enormous.  Children should always associate the animal names with the notes and sing them, at least when they are learning hands separately, even if using the blank notes edition. Ideally you should sing the melody with the student before he/she attempts to play the piece. More advanced students should be able to sing one part (e.g. the right hand part) whilst accompanying themselves with the ther part (left hand) on the keyboard. Rhythm exercises are a good preparation for playing with hands together. Make sure that the students count aloud and play slowly enough to keep an even beat. Ask your students to play and sing every day for 5 minutes. « Go Back |
