Episode 3 - Preparation and Procedure for Teaching Pitch
Hello, and welcome to episode 3 of the NoteSense Music Reading Podcast. I’m your host, Dr. Elizabeth Morrow. NoteSense is a one-on-one instructional approach to teaching music reading modeled on dyslexia instruction. It is designed for brains that learn differently. NoteSense works for anyone who is struggling with reading music notation. Episode 3 continues the detailed exploration of NoteSense. We will expand the discussion about the multisensory sequential structured approach to teaching, and we will review the foundation understanding that is required before teaching individual pitches, followed by the specific approach to pitch instruction.
