Atlanta, Georgia, November 24, 2001 - Music
You Can Read adds Scale Fingering Charts to "Music You Can
Read." Continuing
to improve on the most advanced elementary music curriculum, and,
the only curriculum dedicated to teaching all elementary students
to become musically literate before advancing into middle school,
Music Notes, Inc. has added Scale
Fingering Charts.
Scale Fingering Charts
include the same colors used in the Recorder Charts and the Ukulele
Charts, and, therefore make the mastery of pitches faster and easier
than ever before. "Scale Fingering Charts are intended for advanced
students, and reinforce concepts taught throughout the curriculum,
such as whole and half steps, key signatures, and major scale patterns," states
Jess Buice, founder and CEO of Music Notes, Inc. Mr. Buice added, "each
chart includes reminders of these concepts, as well as helpful hints
so that the student can teach themselves, utilizing the skills learned
during keyboard centers."
"Our goal is for students to continue to learn at their own pace, and discover
the language of music on many instruments. The Scale Fingering Charts develop
proper fingering when students choose their own selections, and keep those who
are moving faster through centers, active and continuing their progress, without
any down time, waiting for others to catch up."
Scale Fingering Charts
and all of the materials in "Music You Can Read," bring
private lesson objectives into the general music class. Studies have
shown students who participate in private music lessons, score higher,
and have a higher self-esteem through the confidence gained in learning
the language of music, which for most, is another way to express
their feelings. "Music You Can Read" is
the only resource for teaching music literacy, and providing private
lesson objectives to all students!
Established in 1996
to bring the "language of music" to all children, Music
Notes, Inc. publishes "Music You Can Read" a supplemental curriculum
teaching all children to read music during their primary and elementary
school years. "Music You Can Read" is unique in offering
song selections formatted as beats, rhythm, solfeggio, pitch numbers,
letter names, music only, and text. Music Notes, Inc. maintains the
Internet sites, http://musicnotes.net and http://musicyoucanread.com providing teachers, parents,
administrators, universities, and all persons interested in teaching
music, access to "Music You Can Read."
