Schaum Note Spellers Book 1 Paperback – September 1, 1996

Perfect lesson workbook

I have been using this book for years in order to teach.It is presented very well which will encourage beginners to continue with future lessons.

I LOVE this book for students who need to learn note names, but won't use flashcards! Or, for the student that needs LOTS of review- I suggest they copy the treble and bass pages and do a couple of lines every day for a month to get the note names down cold.

Great for my 8 year old. 2nd year in music

As a student, I was given a Note Speller as a tool to help me become better at sight-reading. It worked, and my sight-reading excelled to the point where I can read from hymnals with ease and read songs at my playing level.As a teacher, I use Note Spellers with my students for extra practice reading notes and to introduce students to concepts ahead of their lessons books. I expect to use these books for a very long time.

Bought it used it twice for home school group, it was what it said it was. Not a musical family

very nice for kids learning their notes. I also bougt the hal leonard note speller books and this one gives you more bang for your buck. This book is filled with exercises from top to bottom of the page so it has more repetition. THe hal leonard is filled with more character drawings with little amount of exercises. Kids might find the hal leonard more animated, but definitely this is better buy for actually learning and writing your notes. My kids are 6 and 7 and are being taught the hal leonard music book 2 right now, so I decided to buy the hal leonard notespeller book. I didn't think they were bad, but my kids finished them within a couple of days and I wanted a more "complex" book. I play the piano as well and I have to say that for learning this is MUCH BETTER buy!

As a teacher, I have recommended this for all of my students, especially when I notice a delay in memorizing notes for my newer students. I've bought this numerous times. It's a great way to reinforce what students learn in their lesson/solo books. This is not as "fun" as Alfred's notespeller books as those books contain more coloring and matching exercises tiered to younger students. But this is a great note speller for older students and gets right to the point.
