Why Notate Notes?
It’s not about writing music. It’s about using a different way to impress a memory into your mind, which results in higher retention of what you learn.The actual act of drawing a note on the correct line or in the correct space, opens up a powerful realization and gives you a more exact knowledge of where that note is located on the staff. Seeing it, notating it, playing it, identifying it are more powerful together than just to see it and play it.
I appreciate the idea of noting the keys with pictorials of where the note is on the staff. Great thought that I never considered. My great challenge is to enlarge my vision to take in both treble and bass clefs at the same time.
Thank you so much for that advice. I really struggle in reading notes, as if I wanna give up. I’ll do your advise. God Bless!
