Play & Read

Play & Read is a reading program designed to introduce Suzuki Piano School, Volume 2 students to reading music. Six lessons with seven units each are based on the simple principle that students learn to read music most naturally by reading pieces they already know how to play. To ensure that students don't just play from memory without looking at the score, Play & Read uses scrambles of four-bar segments from six selections from Suzuki Piano School, Volume 1repertoire to engage students in active reading. Students learn to read music as entire bars or groups of notes, and through singing, playing, pointing, saying, and writing.
