When I was learning music I loved listening to and watching others play piano and always wanted to be able to play like them. So when my aunt first started teaching me to play I was ecstatic and loved it.

Unfortunately that excitement was extremely short lived. This was in part because of many reasons that I will share in future blogs but one major reason was because I just didn’t want to learn music theory.

I found it mind numbingly boring and simply couldn’t understand why I had to learn music theory when all I wanted to do was play piano like my mom, dad and aunt.

I just couldn’t make the connection of how learning music theory would help me when all I wanted was to have fun on the keys and make awesome music.

If you have never learned music theory or are having kids learning music right now, I’m sure you must also be experiencing the same push back.

Music theory often seems so pointless and so boring that most kids don’t see why they have to bother with it, most parents don’t want their kids to learn theory if they don’t want to and many music teachers themselves do not feel competent enough to teach theory in a fun and engaging way.

The end result then is that most kids don’t learn theory and they miss out on the opportunity to improve their playing and gain the many benefits that the study of music theory could provide them.

In my case I was forced to learn theory and I am extremely thankful for that today.

As I grew up and began teaching younger children I also realized how those that were actively learning music theory were able to progress faster than those that were not.

It was only then that it hit me that learning to play piano without the knowledge of music theory is like going to the gym hoping to become a world class weight lifter, working on weight lifting, but ignoring all the other important aspects like strength training, endurance training and nutrition.

I’m sure you get my point, learning music theory is essential if your child is to develop strong musicmanship skills.

Whether your child is learning to play piano, or some other instrument, whether you child is learning to play music online, in the home school or with a traditional piano teacher, or whether you are unschooling your child, either way learning music theory alongside the practical side of learning an instrument is essential.

 

Music Theory Enables You To Play Complex Pieces

Kids who learn music theory when learning to play an instrument are often able to play very complex pieces because they have developed strong note reading and interpretation skills that simply playing an instrument without learning music theory alone cannot provide.

 

Music Theory Helps With Composition

When learning music theory, kids also learn to analyse music pieces and this in turn helps them acquire all the necessary skills to compose and arrange music that is not possible with just learning to play an instrument alone.

 

Music Theory Enables Transfer Of Skills

Research indicates that kids who learn music theory are able to rapidly transfer the skills from one instrument to another and thereby, learn to play more than one instrument.

 

Helps Even Young Kids To Compose

Because you see what you are learning, you are able to interpret it and appreciate it better and therefore learning music theory helps to develop kids’ composition skills.

 

Music Theory Helps With Retention

Last but not least, one of the greatest benefits of learning music theory is that it helps kids to retain what they are learning at a much higher rate than those that do not learn music theory.

They also gain a better understanding of the subject and learning music theory also helps to engage visual, auditory and kinaesthetic learners, which is something that learning to play an instrument without the music theory cannot do.

 

As you can see, learning music theory is essential. This is one of the reasons why I have included music theory in all of my online homeschool piano courses. Whether it is a mini six week course or a 1 year homeschool piano curriculum, music theory is an essential component of all my programs because I know how important it is.

Also since I have first hand experience of how boring it can be, I have taken steps to ensure that all music theory activities are fun and engaging for children of all ages and therefore include lots of games, puzzles and interactive worksheets.

Whether your child is learning to play piano or some other instrument, music theory as you can see, can help to fast track the learning process and provide your child with a solid foundation in music.

This is why I have a course that focuses only on Music Theory, my aim is to help kids who are either learning an instrument other than the piano or are attending traditional piano, vocal or music classes with a teacher that does not teach music theory – to have an opportunity to learn music theory and progress faster in their musical journey.

Come check out my Learn Music Theory course and my other courses and let me know what your experiences have been in the past, if you or your child learned music theory.

5 ‘Easy Peasy’ Steps To Teach Your Child To Read Piano Music

In this post I thought I should give you the steps to teach your kids to read music notes in 5 easy steps. 

You have to have some knowledge of music to be able to understand this and be able to teach. 

This post is for the many parents who have leaned music but simply don’t know how to teach their kids or to break things down in easy steps.

Name The Key

First take your child to the keyboard and name the keys starting from Middle C. 

You can go C, D, E, F, G, A, B 

Or you can also teach them C4 (middle C), D4, E4 and so and when you come to the next C call it C5. 

With this method remember to teach them that the B before C4 is B3 and so on. 

This actually is my favourite method (C4, D4 and so on) as in the long run it helps when teaching ledger line notes and up. 

 

Line And Space Notes

Next take a music sheet and teach them to identify line notes and space notes. 

I have included worksheets with this post, that you can use to have them practice what they learn.

Remember to grab them. 

 

Treble And Bass Clef

Treble Clef Notes

Now teach them the treble clef line notes and then the space notes. 

 

Bass Clef Notes

Yes, you guessed it. simply teach them the bass clef line notes and space notes. 

 

You are done.

Eg. Call out Eighth Rest, and have them write it on the white board/paper and identify all the Eighth Rests in any piece of Sheet Music. 

If they write out the rest, make sure that the technicalities are accurate. 

If you have the flashcards available you can have them hold up the correct flashcard instead of writing out the rest. 

 

Notes And Rests Game 2

Hold up a flashcard of a note or rest and ask them to call out the name, the alternate name and the number of beats. 

If you don’t have the flashcards, simply write it out correctly. 

You can take this a step further and ask them to clap and count or play and count the note/rest. 

 

Notes And Rests Game 3

Call out the name of a note or rest and ask them to call out the alternate name. 

Eg. You say Semibreve and they have to call out Whole Note.

Once your child is able to name all the notes on the keyboard, it is imperative to play games in order to reinforce the learning and also to ensure quick recall and build the foundation for reading music notes. 

Learning the names of the notes on the keyboard is the first step in learning to read music notes and once your child starts learning to read music notes, there are a variety of challenges he/she will face. However, one of those challenges should not be the inability to accurately know the name of the white notes on the keyboard. 

Therefore, working through this part of the journey, slowly and thoroughly will help your child in the long run. 

Unfortunately, when learning to play the piano kids are very eager at the start and therefore, slowing down the teaching can be hard. 

This is why when reinforcing concepts it is important to play games, as it will keep the enthusiasm levels high. 

Here are five games that you can play with your kids to keep the enthusiasm high, while also making them highly proficient in finding their way around the keyboard. 

Remember to download the music theory worksheet that I have made available with this post. 

 

Pre-requisites

Kids have to know all the names of the white notes on the keyboard. If you haven’t taught them the note names, please go to my post, The Absolute Best Way To Teach Your Child To Name Notes On The Keyboard – Step 1.

 

Things You Will Need

Paper/Whiteboard

Pen/Erasable Marker

Coloured Beads/Buttons/PebblesTokens/Mini Action Hero Figures

Flashcards (optional)

 

 

Learning Your Way Around The Keyboard – Game 1

Call out the name of a note and ask your child to play it on the keyboard. 

Eg. You call out G and your child can play any G on the keyboard. 

Repeat at least 11 more times with different note names. 

 

Learning Your Way Around The Keyboard – Game 2

Another variation of the above game is to call out the name of the note and ask your child to play all the notes with that name on the keyboard.

Eg. If you call out D, your child should play all 7 Ds on the keyboard starting with D1. 

 

Learning Your Way Around The Keyboard – Game 3

Call out a specific note with a number and ask your child to keep a bead/pebble/button on the note. 

Eg. If you called out E4, then your child should leave the pebble on the 4th E (starting from the left of the keyboard). 

 

Learning Your Way Around The Keyboard – Game 4

Leave pebbles/buttons/beads on different notes on the keyboard and ask your child to write down the names on the paper/whiteboard. 

 

Learning Your Way Around The Keyboard – Game 5

Call out or write 3 – 5 different names in quick succession and ask your child to leave pebbles on the notes that you named in the order you called/wrote. 

 

Bonus: Reverse And Repeat

Reverse the above exercise. Ask your child to call out or write 3 – 5 different names in quick succession and you leave pebbles on the notes.

Ask your child to check your work. 

Tip: Deliberately make a mistake (but don’t overdo it), to give your child the opportunity to correct you. The confidence boost he will get from it is priceless. 

 

Fun aren’t they?

You can play these games even when you are in the middle of teaching them to find their way around the keyboard. 

What other games can you think of playing with your kids to help reinforce their learning?

8 ‘Ultra Easy’ Step To Introduce The Eighth Rest

8 ‘Ultra Easy’ Step To Introduce The Eighth Rest

8 ‘Ultra Easy’ Step To Introduce The Eighth Rest

See below for a Free Printable Pack to go with the post.

Teaching notes and rests, their values and how they can be identified, and played is extremely easy if homeschooling parents have access to the correct tools and guidance. 

Therefore today I’m going to give you the necessary tools and also explain the exact steps you can use to easily introduce the Eighth Rest to your kids. 

So what are Eighth Rests? They are similar in value to Eighth Notes, but no note is played. 

They basically extend the silence by half a beat. 

If you haven’t already introduced the Eighth Note, do that first, you can find the steps, flashcard and printable in the post 6 ‘Shockingly Simple’ Ways To Teach Eighth Notes. 

And here’s how you can introduce the Eighth Rest to your kids in the homeschool.

 

Show The Note And The Rest

Yes, it is as easy as that.  

Show them the flashcard of the note and the rest side by side. 

Tell them that the Eighth Rest (point to it) is similar to the Eighth Note and consists of 1/2 a beat.

 

Explain The Difference

Don’t forget to explain the difference. 

With an Eighth Note, we actually play a note, but with an Eighth Rest we don’t play a note, rather, there is silence for 1/2 a beat, wherever there is an Eighth Rest. 

 

Ask Them Both Names

Yes, ask them to tell you the alternate name for the Eighth Rest. 

Since they know that the Eighth Note is called a Quaver, it is very likely that they will make the connection and tell you that the alternate name for the Eighth Rest is a Quaver Rest. 

 

Clapping

Now comes the interesting part. Ask them to clap the Quaver Rest. 

Remember, a Quaver Rest means there is silence for 1/2 a beat, so there is no clapping only counting. 

 

Understanding The Eighth Rest

To make the previous step less confusing, you draw or show a Whole/Half or Quarter Note before two Eighth Rests. Then ask them to clap. 

So, they should clap for the specific note you drew, then count the correct number of beats for that note, and finally count 1 beat to signify the two Eighth Rest. 

 

On The Keyboard

Repeat the above step on the keyboard. 

Have them play the note first and count the corresponding number of beats and then count an additional 1 beat to signify the two Eighth Rests. 

 

Writing The Quarter Rest

Now teach them how to correctly write the Eighth Rest. 

Please use the printable I have included for this exercise.

 

Identifying The Quarter Rest

Finally it is time to look at different sheets of music and identify the Eighth Rests. 

Again you can use the printable I have included for this post. 

 

Easy, isn’t it? 

So what are you waiting for? 

Grab the printable and the flashcard and go get started.

6 ‘Shockingly Simple’ Ways To Teach Eighth Notes

6 ‘Shockingly Simple’ Ways To Teach Eighth Notes

See below for a Free Printable Pack to go with the post.

If you’ve looked closely at a sheet of music, you have no doubt realized that it consists of a variety of different types of notes. 

Those that are noteheads with no stems, outlined noteheads with stems and solid black notes with stems , flags and beams. 

So what does this mean?

Each of these elements like stems, flags and beams signify the type and value of the note and learning to decipher the difference is very important. 

Therefore, today I will be explaining how you can introduce ‘Eighth Notes’ to your kids in the homeschool in just six shockingly simple steps. 

Don’t forget to download the printable I have included, so you can take your child’s learning to the next level. 

 

Show And Tell

It’s as simple as that. 

Just show a flashcard with an Eighth Note, or draw it out on a paper or white board or simply point it out on a piece of sheet music and tell your child that a solid black note with a stem and a flag is called an Eighth Note. 

 

Other Names

Now tell your child that while in North America we call this type of note, an ‘Eighth Note’, in other parts of the world, especially in Asia and Europe the note is called a Quaver. 

 

Clapping And Counting

Now that your child can identify the note and knows both its names, it is time to explain that an Eighth Note/Quaver consists of 1/2 a beat. 

This means when played on the piano, you play two eighth notes in 1 beat.

If there are two eighth notes beamed together or separate, then you clap both in quick succession in 1 beat. 

 

Writing The Note

Next, you can show your child how to write an Eighth Note on a line, and in a space, as well as over the stave, hanging from the stave, as Middle C and ledger line notes. 

This would also be a good time to teach your child the stem rules and the flag and beam rules.

 

Identifying Eighth Notes

Now, show your child some sheet music (if you don’t have any handy, use the sheet music in the printable I have made available) and ask your child to identify all the Eighth Notes. 

 

On The Keyboard

Next have your child play Eighth Notes. 

For this you can simply draw a treble or bass staff on a piece of paper and write out a few Eighth Notes on different lines and spaces and have your child read the notes. 

If your child cannot read music notes as yet, you can still have your child play Middle Cs. 

For this you need to draw about four Middle Cs on a paper (as Eighth Notes), have your child play two Middle Cs in quick succession for the 1st beat and the next two in quick succession for the 2nd beat.

 

Easy enough don’t you think?

Now, don’t forget to download the printable included so you can reinforce the concepts taught here.
