Gentle ways to learn your Note Neighbours
Lately we've been exploring how learning piano gets easier when you see groups of notes as little neighbourhoods around your piano. Today, let's talk about ways you can learn your Note Neighbourhoods gently, in a way that honours your natural energy, attention, and emotions, so that every part of you feels welcome in the learning process.
In this final video in my Note Neighbours series, I'll share some of the tools and strategies I use with my own beginner students to help note reading feel less overwhelming.
Try it for yourself!
I’ve created a free Note Neighbours practice book to help you apply what we explored in the video! It includes eight short melodies — four in the treble clef, four in the bass clef — designed to support your growing fluency with treble G, middle C, and bass F.
