How do you teach singers (non-instrumentalists) to read music notation?
Q. I teach general music classes (grades 1-6) and middle school chorus. They do not use an instrument which helps in learning to read notes. I am looking for a good methodology or technique to teach the singers to read music.

A. There are a couple of approaches you could take dependent on your system of teaching. Do you give written worksheets in class or as homework? Can you do sectionals with your choir?

The little ones throw a bag and then they have to put a ruler next to it to show correct stem rules and name the note. We set up a '5 finger' position on the staff (EX.

Which instrumentalist is better?

A. Keyboard players can play 10 notes at once, though I've seen some organs with foot petals. Guitars however can play in between notes and the strings can be stretched along with other effects. A toss-up to me.
