the 
BIRD
bundle

A brilliant resource for
beginner piano students,
focussing on
•meter
•grand staff literacy
and
•alternating right and left hands

delightfully delivered by

Elissa and Anita Milne

... a collection of quirky birds introduce different meters ...

...using 
3rd fingers only...

(alternatively, use 2nd/3rd/4th fingers)

...down beats are internalised by movement from side to side...

...while upbeats are effortlessly incorporated into the beginning pianist's
rhythmic repertoire...

...start with students performing the pattern on a tabletop... 

 

...reading from
the bird notation 
reinforces
understanding of left/right on
the grand staff...

 

Use the "bird board" for aural awareness activities (students can identify what they hear by pointing to the matching bird)
