Abstract

In the first step five lines are laid on the floor with circles positioned on, between, above top and below bottom lines. If it is more convenient, the same layout can be drawn on paper, and below instructions performed visually.Next, the student is directed to exact position of the first circle, which corresponds to the position on a stave of the first music note of the melody written as the sheet music. The following sequence of instructions given by the teacher or music teaching book translate sheet music melody to a progression of music notes, where each new music note is relative to the previous music note as in its position above or below it on the five lines, the bottom lines being lower than the top lines. Additionally, each music note's position on or between lines (above top & below bottom lines are also considered between lines) is the key to the instruction to be used. If both music notes of the melody being read are positioned on lines, then to get from one music note to another would be to touch circles laid on top of the lines, skipping the circles positioned between lines in the up or down direction of the following note. Similarly, if both notes are positioned between lines, to get to the next music note would be to touch circles laid in between the lines, skipping the circles positioned on the lines in the up or down direction of the next note read. If consecutive music notes are adjacent to each other, meaning one music note is positioned between lines, while the other note is positioned on either bottom or top of these lines, then there is no need to skip. The instruction will be to go to the adjacent circle in the up or down direction, depending on the relative position of the music note. If consecutive music notes are not adjacent and previous music note is positioned on a line while the next one is between lines, then the instruction would be in the up or down direction of the next note to touch circles laid on lines, skipping the circles positioned between lines and step on the next circle on a line. Conversely, if consecutive music notes are not adjacent and previous music note is positioned between lines while the next one is on a line, then the instruction would be in the up or down direction of the next note, to touch circles laid between the lines, skipping the circles positioned on the lines and step on the next circle between the lines.
