My son has been taking piano lessons for better than two years now, and though he’s been working with music the entire time, we realized last night that he still can’t actually tell us what the notes are when given a simple piece of music.

I’ve also been wanting to read music– I used to be able to read simple stuff but then stopped working with it. Actually, that’s happened more than once if I stop and think about it. So I’m going to be working on a set of flash cards which present a staff (and a clef) along with a note, and then the note in question notated on the back. I’ll make it available for download here, and depending on how well it goes, I may add additional sections that deal with key notation, different types of notes (eighth, half, etc.), and whatever else I can think of.

Keep your eyes peeled here, and let me know if there are other sections you’d like to see added!
