Resources for Students

The Alfred Piano Method is a good launchpad for beginners. I usually use these books with new students, and they continue to be valuable for reference even after we begin working on supplemental sheet music.

Here are some good online exercises to practice reading music.

• Naming Notes on the Grand Staff

For piano/keyboard students:

• Naming Piano Keys
• Playing Notes on the Grand Staff

For ukulele students:
