Premier Piano Course, Notespeller 1A: Piano Book

Notespeller 1A pairs perfectly with Lesson Book 1A, turning what could feel like tedious drill into purposeful reinforcement. The QR codes are genuinely useful, linking directly to video support that helps students (and parents) understand the why behind each concept, not just the what.

Approachable and purposeful. The 32-page workbook stays focused on reinforcing exactly what students have just learned in their lessons, with exercises that build confidence in reading and writing notes on the staff without overwhelming them.

This is designed for beginning piano students working through Premier Piano Course Lesson Book 1A who need structured, systematic note-reading reinforcement. It works equally well in private lessons, group piano classes, or homeschool settings where a parent is guiding the student.

• Have students complete one section per week during their regular lesson time rather than rushing through the entire book, allowing concepts to solidify between lessons.
• Use the QR code videos before assigning written work so students understand the concept through multiple modalities before they write.
• Check written responses together in lesson to catch misconceptions immediately and reinforce correct interval and note identification habits.

Assign Notespeller 1A as supplementary written work during the same period your student is progressing through Lesson Book 1A. The systematic progression mirrors the lesson sequence, so you can assign corresponding sections each week to reinforce what was just introduced.

• Note identification on the treble and bass staffs
• Interval recognition and naming
• Staff notation reading and writing
• Reinforcement of concepts from Lesson Book 1A through written practice
