These workbooks allow students to learn by doing one-page-lessons away from the piano, with their Note Speller and a pencil. Book 1 begins with identifying line notes versus space notes. Then, letter names on both the treble and bass staves are taught with slogans such as "Every Good Bird Does Fly" and "F-A-C-E." Accidentals, rhythmic values, ledger lines, enharmonic notes and more are also taught in Book 1. Book 2 carries on where Book 1 left off. Students are required to spell notes on the staff according to tonality (G, F, D, Bb, A, Eb Major), identify accidentals, ties versus slurs, inner and outer ledger lines, intervals and much more. Various rhythmic exercises on such subjects as the use of dots after a note and triplets are also included in Book Two.
