How To Use Stage 2 Of Your Free MiM App
Once you have mastered playing the notes and you can confidently play the songs you can advance to Stage 2 of the App. The App is free to download and comes with two free songs to get you started, Frère Jacques and Hush Little Baby (also known as Mocking Bird).
Stage 2 presents you with notes on a stave rather than just a note and beat count as in Stage 1. You can now see the song with various notes shown and you can play, much as you did in Stage 1, but this time seeing the actual notes on the stave rather than the letters. You can always move between Stage 1 and 2 as you progress and as before the notes are shown aligned with the key on the keyboard you need to press. The Glossary and How To sections of the App can also assist in explaining what the notes are, their duration and so on.
Videos
Here are two videos from the Beta version of Musical Instruction Method’s MiM App. They demonstrate how Stage 2 works. There are some anomalies in the Beta Version (wrong note types) that we will update when the next Beta is released. For now, we hope that this gives you a good idea of how Stage 2 works to build your confidence and to gradually introduce musical notation once you have mastered Stage 1
Tuition
Once you are confident and are playing songs confidently don’t forget to seek out formal tuition if you wish to progress further.
