"Helping students reach and continue on Path 1 is a main goal of the program. Path 1 leads to truly typical piano instruction material and is therefore the most challenging. One of the key factors in helping students continue to meet criterion for Path 1 instruction is to focus on the student's ability to read musical notation. There are various prompts that we will introduce and systematically fade, that will help shape this skill. The Treble Clef Board is the first tool used in this process, followed by flashcards, The Bass Clef Board and ultimately the notes on the song pages themselves. As students learn and meet criterion on the various note designations, teachers should institute a maintenance data schedule to help the student retain these successes and acquire new skills in this area."
