First 3x5 is structured so that three is multiplied five times.
Kids learn math from a structural point of view. Cheat sheets are not meant to be memorized. It is a resource you can turn to when you are in doubt of a note in a sheet music or if you just can't remember mnemonics or anything else. Now, I can handle both ways.Īs to my material, as I said it is a cheat sheet.
I went to a library one day and picked up very interesting material on music theory which used H and B as Bb and I was instantly lost since I didn't know what H was. I started out with American tutorials on piano and grew into using only B. In my opinion, learning variety enriches ones capabilities. Why wouldn't you recommend notation that uses H? It's like saying you don't recommend Celsius to display temperature because you use Fahrenheit. I don't know why but I am from one of those countries and always like to include both when doing a printed material. In many northern European country B is written as H and Bb as B. When they are very fluent with identifying, then you can make the correlation between the notes in the lines and spaces put together rise through the alphabet. This seems more logical to me, and easier than trying to memorise the notes in order. If I were you though, I encourage the use of displaying the 'EGBDF lines and FACE spaces etc' so they have to use a mnemonic device to work them out. It's definitely nicely presented (except for the fact that you've labelled the 'H' letter, which is if I'm not mistaken used for B, and it's only used in German music), but I wouldn't recommend a sheet like that. I think it was a nice thought, but personally I think it's a bad idea as a lot of people will resort to just looking at it, instead of critically thinking of the relationship between the lines/spaces and the letter names. After all, it's best if you show a child how to work out their multiplication tables, than simply get them to memorise all of them. I prefer to give them ways and methods to memorise the notes, rather than label them simply for reference. I help them identify the notes from a physical point of view on the piano, and when they are comfortable with that, I get them to identify the correlate those with the written note on the piano. I try and encourage from day one for students to either memorise the notes they play. Unfortunately I disagree with this method.
