[...] Read Music Notes Easily – For Adults. Description Learn To Read Music Notes – Easily And Quickly! Excerpt from product page Learn to read music notes — quickly and easily! If you are an adult or a teenager learning the piano, then this could be the most important invitation you will ever receive. Here's why: Most people are really keen when they begin learning to play the piano or keyboard, but many soon give up because they find reading music notes too difficult. They feel disappointed and frustrated. Why?: They cannot find the notes on the piano keyboard. They struggle to remember which note is which on the staff. They confuse the bass staff notes and the treble staff notes. You might be a first timer taking up a new interest in music… or maybe this is your second go at learning to play the piano. Like most music students, you dream that you'll soon be playing your own favorite songs on the piano. Perhaps you look forward to the fun of playing the piano for your family and friends. And maybe you'd even love to create your very own beautiful piano music. But then you will soon discover a problem nobody warned you about: that music notes are difficult to learn. Most music courses just expect you to remember the notes on the piano by repetition alone… with the result that you often end up just having to guess what the notes are! If only you could break through this learning block, you would be able to fulfil your lifelong dream of sitting down at the piano and playing beautiful music! What is the solution? I have been a piano teacher for over 30 years. I have seen this problem so many times. I have surveyed all the piano teaching books, courses and ebooks on the market, and frankly, not one of them really helped my students learn to read music notes in a quick, systematic way that was also fun. I wanted a book or course that would: Make the learning of music notes fun — instead of a chore Actually show beginners how to remember all the notes on the keyboard Actually show beginners how to remember all the notes on the bass staff and the treble staff So I decided that if I couldn't find a book, course or ebook that did these things, I would write one myself. After 12 long months of writing and testing it out with my own piano students, here it is: Reading Music Notes With Ease for the Adult Beginner. "When I was at school I started learning the violin. The teacher did not know that instead of learning to read music I was simply memorizing all the tunes. When I couldn't remember any more tunes I gave up trying to learn the violin! This enjoyable new system enables me to actually read and understand music. Now at last I will be able to achieve my longterm goal of learning to play the piano! Yeah!" — Jacqui Hawes Hong Kong This ebook makes learning music notes fun and easy, and is designed to help you WHIZ through learning music notes. Here's a list of what you will receive from this ebook: You will learn music notes with a brand new memory technique, combined with a dash of fun — which makes learning a breeze, not a chore. You will rapidly gain confidence as you learn to recognize all the 21 notes on the bass and treble staffs — using a systematic method, not just rote learning. You will be hugely entertained by the hilarious voices of the 'Gang of Seven' characters used in this ebook. Embedded behind all the illustrations of the Gang of Seven members are voice clips that you can play as you view the ebook on your computer screen, simply by clicking on each picture with your mouse. You will also enjoy playing the music clips embedded in all the keyboard and staff diagrams. As you listen to every note that is discussed, by clicking on the diagrams, you will easily relate the material to your own keyboard. You will get a feeling of achievement as your knowledge of each music note is locked in when you use the free bonus flash cards.

My 8 year old daughter with neurological issues, ADHD, ODD, IED eventually falls to sleep very late after worring about everything. She creates negative anxieties about anything and its like her brain gets stuck there. I call it obbessive negative compulsion,(the more you talk and explain the more worries she creates). We tried baths, massages, books,music,watching her fish swim, etc.. all the ususal stuff, then I found these wonderful cds on the internet called “Ocean Dreams” and “Indigo Dreams” by Lori Lite. Her psychotherapist is working with them to help ease anxiety and they seem to be helping. Now if I can only make the weather quiet (wind rain thunder) I’ll be in better shape. I hope this might help anyone with a child with disabilities on top of sleep issues, and if there are other ideas out there please let me know. Thanks for listening.

The book that #5 Jay purchased is wonderful! We have been using it as needed for about 7 months. It talks about different stages and needs. We refer to it when we are goimg through a new thing with our daughter who is about to turn 3 years old. But got it when our son, who is almost 8 months, had colic. It was an absolute life saver!! Hope you all get some sleep:)

LL Bean sells a Moonbeam Clock for $39.99. I was thinking of getting it for my son because he’s hard to wake up.

We have the same situation as Shelley since we all had the flu. (Our kids are 10 and 8.) We’ve made beds for them in our room, and all of us are sleeping well with that arrangement. This does compromise intimate time for the parents, but we sometimes get the kids to sleep in their own rooms by reading and snuggling with them in their beds and telling them Mom and Dad want some time alone in their own room tonight, or we go to the guest room for a while after they’re asleep.

What keeps me going is knowing this is temporary (though the kids’ idea of temporary is longer than mine!) and feeling that when they’re teenagers, this closeness will pay off. In fact, I bet we’ll be wishing they were still sleeping in our room so we can keep closer tabs on where they are!

As far as waking up, I have been reading about dawn-lights — alarm clocks that simulate the rising sun. I’m going to shop for one and see if it can help my daughter get up more easily.

Great tips there about bedtime. Can we get tips on wake up time which seems to be just as if not more difficult. It breaks my heart when they leave in the morning without breakfast because they just id not have time for it – due to not getting up on time.

Hi Krishnaroopa,

What has worked for us in the past is just making a sleep schedule (bedtime and waking) up for the next couple of weeks – where bedtime and waking up time are moved back by 15 minutes (or 30 if you can sneak it in) every day. The routine of bath, milk, reading and snuggling has certainly helped to make it “just what we do before we sleep”. This is how we get back into routine after holidays, jet lag, and other interruptions to the norm. I wish you luck and great rest!

Thanks for addressing this important subject. I found that giving my little one my complete undivided attention, even if it’s just for 1/2 hr before bedtime, sends him off into sleepy time for the whole night without a care in the world. I then am free to talk on the phone, watch TV, or anything else at my own pace for the rest of the evening.

I like Em’s (#6) routine! It seems very sound to me, something I’d be willing to try with my family, which hopefully could lead to nights where my boys are finally sleeping soundly through the night.

My night owl has allowed to read at night which settles his older brother down. He’s still a bear in the morning but on the bright side his recent reading test came back at a college level! We will try some of these strategies though. Thanks Ellen.

We set up a music playlist on our computer that plays a bedtime CD that we bought at the same time every night. It starts with toothbrushing music, potty time music, washing up music, pajama time music, and then we put some quiet reading music at the end. The alarm goes at the same time every night and the kids just jump up and go to the bathroom to start brushing their teeth. The faster they get through it, the more time we have to read, so they often ask us to skip to the next song so they can get through it faster.

The CD we bought was a Sesame Street one, but there must be others out there. It makes our bedtime routine so much better that I recommend it to everyone.

ROUTINE is the key! In our house, which is full of energetic kids and pets, we actually dim the lights (and TVs and computers, etc. are OFF) at 7:30. Then it’s bath time. Then everyone has until 8:30 to do something quiet (read or talk about the day’s events). Then it’s lights out. Even our puppy is starting to understand the routine. He finds a quiet place to cuddle once he realizes the lights are dimmed. And “white noise” is priceless, since our home is small. We use an air purifier and/or the bathroom fans.
Sweet Dreams!

I have a 3 year old boy, and I have tried almost EVERYTHING in the last few months. He was sleeping great while still in the crib. Then we moved, and he changed into a toddler bed, and although it took a couple of weeks, he was sleeping great there too! But, for the last few months, he’s up WAY past the time we do our routine and he goes to bed, and he’s been getting up in the middle of the night to come to my bed. I just invested in a new book on the recommendation of another mom – Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child – I’m not the “get it from a book” type, but SOMETHING’S GOTTA GIVE!

We have been amazed at how well a bed time routine has worked for us. Our little one is almost one and from an early age we always followed the same routine – bath, milk now with books, and into bed. We also use a noise maker (waves) and Elsie has a favorite lovey. Even when we are traveling and off schedule we try to do an abbreviated version of the routine and have been quite successful. The noise maker is extremely useful when we are traveling – especially in noisy environments.

I pray with my 5 year-old daughter, Abby. It is a good way to help her feel safe and also to let her know that God is watching over her and her home. Also, if she is nervous about a dental appointment, or her first day of school- we pray about that and ask God to help her. I think it helps her to relax enough to fall asleep.

I need to print this out and get a handle on the crazy bedtime in my home… sometimes the kids are still up when I want to go to sleep! This is really a timely article for me, thanks!
