PREMISE CONCERNING MUSICAL NOTATION
Underneath the blue band method (grey in these instructions), the
classical musical notation is shown with the treble clef, the time of
the piece (3/4, 4/4 and so on), the notes with their anglo-saxon
names (letters). After having played the pieces in the music books
several times, try playing them again, this time following the clas

sical notation in order to gradually familiarize yourself with this
“traditional” world of music. You will then be able to see the close
relationship that exists between the Bontempi Method and classical musical notation.
LOOKING AT THE KEYBOARD
The keyboard is made up of white and black keys. The black keys are arranged in groups of 2 or 3 which may be of help
to you as you learn to recognize the positioning of the notes.
1) the white key immediately to the left of the two black keys is C (DO).
2) The white key immediately to the left of the three black keys is F (FA).
3) By point 1 and 2 you can locate the other notes on keyboard.
MUSICAL NOTATION
Notes and pauses are written on five parallel horizontal lines and
the four spaces between these lines. This group of five lines is called
the stave.
The correspondence between the notes and their position on the
keyboard is given on the next diagram.
MODIFICATIONS
Sometimes, next to the treble clef at the beginning of the stave or next to a single note, these signs will appear: (flat)
or (sharp).
These signs mean that all the notes on that line, in that space or the single note itself are flat or sharp notes, that is, they
are to be played on the relevant black keys. It’s easy to recognize them because they are indicated in the blue band (grey
in these instructions) of the method with a number followed by the plus (+) sign.
The (bequadro) sign (natural) which you may find on the line of the stave means that the previous (flat) or (sharp)
indications are to be cancelled. All variations are indicated in the blue band (grey in these instructions), so always refer to
this should you have any doubts.
