Slide-a-Note is a musical slide rule that guides the beginning music student to quickly read treble and bass clefs. It is made of heavy white card stock with a clear plastic slider. Dimensions are 5.25 x 8.25 inches.

Piano students and music teachers find this tool helpful to learn the names of the lines and spaces, to read music faster, and to improve sight reading.

Slide-a-Note works by showing the 90° correlation between the musical staff and the piano keyboard in an organic way. “Finally, a visual aid showing the spatial relationship between the keyboard and the grand staff. Excellent product for beginning level private or group piano teachers,” says Bret Nelson, LAUSD piano instructor and private teacher.

Robert Bowman, DMA, of Chico, CA says “This takes the concept of the ‘Note-Finder’ one more important step for the student – namely, seeing the relationship of the vertical note staff with the horizontal plane of the keyboard. Great idea!!”

This renewed passion for the Slide-a-Note comes from Howard B. Richman, author of the successful sight-reading book, “Super Sight-Reading Secrets.” Richman says that this is a natural complement to any piano sight-reading program, particularly for beginners.
