Alfred d'Auberge Piano Course: Note Speller Book 1: Piano Book

Writing exercises feel like puzzles to solve rather than drills to endure. The variety of question types keeps the work fresh, and watching students fill in blanks and complete patterns gives them visible proof that note names are becoming automatic.

This workbook is for early-level piano students (typically ages 5-8) working through Alfred d'Auberge Lesson Book 1. It works equally well in private studios, group lessons, or classroom piano instruction where reinforcement between lessons matters.

Assign pages weekly to complement lesson book practice. Students complete one or two pages between lessons as homework that reinforces what they've learned on the keyboard. The writing practice solidifies pitch recognition without requiring a piano, making it ideal for days when students need a break from playing but still need to build music literacy.

• Identifying notes on the treble clef staff
• Connecting written note names to keyboard locations
