Looking back, we should have kept track of the number of students we have interviewed who came to our program from other teachers. They all brought some similarities: no improvisational experience, some cadences or music theory from the 17th century. if they had any music reading problems they all stemmed from a well meaning teacher who had nothing more to share about the identification of the lines and spaces on a staff than the silliness regarding “good boys”, “dogs that fight animals”, “elephants with dirty feet”, “cows that eat grass” and “cars that eat gas”, etc.
The list of negative side effects is long and range from the “e” in elephant not describing which “e” is being located to a strong impression regarding the uniqueness of the Treble Staff vs. the Bass Staff to a feeling of comfort and safety around Middle C and the comfort and safety disappearing the further you get away from Middle C.
There is a solution – a much better solution and its called the MusicMaster Landmark System.
