      thanks a lot to sashimi & schellen, for sharing your experience.

      Makes sense to me. Guess I got to give more time.

        I do agree. Too much reliance on notes is not a good thing. Focus on the listening/enjoyment of music part when they are young. The technical part should come later. (I am speaking from experience. I have grade 8 myself. i am more musical than a \"singing bush\" :lol: ).

          yummy:
          hi,

          Anyone whose private music teacher teach note-reading using flash cards?
          Or how does your child's piano teacher get your child to memorise notes?

          My girl's piano teacher gets my girl to play Grade 1 pieces without grounding her foundation in note-reading. I'm very uncomfortable this method, but she seems to have been using this approach on all her students. Btw, she teaches in Christofori.
          Please advise.
          :?:
          Most kids learn from getting used to seeing & using the notes frequently. Eg. my boys did not know how to read the scores initially, but this certainly was picked up rather quickly not long after.
