Sight Reading update

An update on sight reading......

How do you prefer to teach your students? I have many different "tricks" or "methods" to help my students remember each and every note on the grand staff.

My favorite for beginners is as follows;

(bass clef): "bottom line G, top space G".

(Treble clef): "bottom line E, top space E".


My students tend to adjust to; and remember this method very well.

I tell them that these are the boundaries of the staffs.

1.) How do you feel about intervals?
2.) When do you introduce intervals to your students?

From here, I tend to have several different techniques that I use depending on the students learning capability.

What is a technique that you use?
