Visual Aids

Students Learn Best When They Are Given the Chance to SEE, HEAR, and DO (Try) Each New Concept!

Visual aids are a great way to visually emphasize and reinforce lesson materials.

Using the Visual Aids

  1. Use visual aids as a teaching guide in individual lessons.
  2. Give students copies to keep in their piano binders, for reminders of what was taught during the lesson.
  3. Provide materials for each student to read at a group lesson.
  4. Create packets and handouts for teacher conferences, conventions and presentations.

Is Your Student Ready For a Concept?

If your student is not ready for all of the concepts in a visual aid or handout, you can still use the visual aid. Just introduce what he/she is ready to learn; save the other elements for later. If you have given your student a copy to keep in his/her notebook, as a handout, then the information will already be handy when he/she is ready for the next concept.
