When you work with older students, one thing that spikes a teacher’s blood pressure is mid-year note reading problems 🙂
November is not the time to struggle with those darn ledger lines.
So, for everyone’s sake, why not start the year off with a ledger line intensive?!
In today’s post, we are sharing an entire week of timed note reading tests that focus on ledger line notes commonly encountered by level 2 piano students.
Send them home with your students after the very first lesson, insist on them being completed by the very next week, and then never think about ledger lines again 🙂
Before You Download Our Ledger Line Workout
If you have piano students who are working in a level 2A/2B method book or higher, check out the ledger line workout we are sharing at the bottom of this post.
But first…
In our WunderKeys Level 2 Method Book Series, we introduce ledger lines early and often.
Instead of only focusing on hand positions that are contained within the grand staff, we introduce pentascales in WunderKeys Elementary Piano Level 2A and one-octave scales in WunderKeys Elementary Piano Level 2B that move beyond the grand staff into ledger lines.
Early exposure means more practice and more comfort.
We also include lots of opportunities for practicing ledger line notes in our books through sight-reading, technical exercises, and repertoire. This means that students are regularly exposed to them in a way that is natural and in context.
If you’re ready to take your elementary piano students through a book that boosts ALL of their skills in a purposeful way, check out our WunderKeys Elementary Piano Level 2 Program below.
