When Notes Go Skipping

The two books, When Notes Go Walking (Book 1) and When Notes Go Skipping (Book 2) contain pieces for piano students who are playing for the first time from printed music. At the outset, the student is given a practical manner of reading notes, which needs not be discarded, changed or modified as the student advances. The plan is simple: Watch the notes to see where they go! After the first note is played, the student reads on by DIRECTION and DISTANCE, observing each note in its RELATED POSITION to the last one played.
