Based on the Grand Staff Hotel 21-note (treble and bass staff - for Piano) learning programme, Linnea's unique method can help you or your students learn the basics of the Treble Staff.

 

Meet Cece, Dido and Evie - three friends who live at the Grand Staff Hotel. No ordinary place, this hotel holds a host of characters, rooms, living spaces and objects, all of which together form a story context - a grid for placing notes on the staff.

 

The hotel and its bass-ment are layered along the lines and spaces of the grand staff. And within its (treble) walls, Cece and Dido and Evie become friends in a most interesting series of events. But when the Rat Orchestra of New Brunswick is scheduled to perform on the new hotel stage on Friday nights, a Mystery comes with them. Can we discover who has committed the crime and learn all 21 notes on the staff?

 

These five videos are for your free use. They come with an available study programme for individual, studio or classroom use [coming up].

A Note to Adults: I know what you're thinking. You're thinking this is for children. Not so! It's just the easiest way in to committing these lines and spaces to memory. When you no longer need this story context for identifying notes, the story falls away and you are left with note pattern recognition in long-term memory, as you should.
