What does each chord worksheet cover?
The first chord worksheet page is an introductory piano lesson to the given chord. Students will be required to trace the notes and color the corresponding notes onto NoteMatch. (To learn more about NoteMatch - the best piano reading tool, head to TheCascadeMethod.com. You do not need NoteMatch to teach this chords workbook; however, it's highly encouraged!)
The second chord worksheet is every student's favorite round of chord practice! We call this page, "Play Composer!" This page lays out all the possible music notes that students can use within the given chord being learned. Together, you and your student will create a composition!
On the third chords workbook page, there is an extra composer page with a grand staff. This gives piano student's the option to continue their first song or write a new one that will be longer - making this chords workbook great for beginner piano students and expert-level piano students! This page resembles real sheet music so students constantly practice their reading of notes!
The fourth and final chords workbook page is a little piece that involves most of the notes from the chord that's being learned. The student will analyze the piece and pick and choose which notes that are not within the given chord. After the first three workbook pages, students complete this chords worksheet at the speed of light!
