We recommend applying the stickers or the guides on the keys of your home piano or keyboard. These stickers are easy to attach and later remove. They help students identify the keys and visually relate them with the lines and spaces of the music staff. Together with the Gentle Piano™ interactive computer program, these guides allow even beginning students to read and play real music from the first piano lesson. As players learn, the stickers and the guides then support effective piano practice, showing students what they have played correctly and what they need to continue practicing.
