Description: 68 cards in the deck, 20 cards per play. Name the pitch of the note on the grand staff, then click the letter name on the exact piano key. Be mindful of where Middle C is! Often times students can name the white keys just fine, but fail to get the correct octave in relation to the "landmark" notes. For students' reference, MC (middle C) is the only landmark note identified on the four different keyboards in this deck. I tell my students: Keep asking yourself, "Where is Middle C on the grand staff? Is that note above or below Middle C? Where is Middle C on the piano keys? Do I need to look higher than Middle C or lower than Middle C?" Pitches on the grand staff range from F space below bass clef to G space above treble clef. There are up to two "inner" ledger lines in this deck, as many piano pieces require hands to overlap their pitch ranges. Lowest note for treble clef is G below Middle C. Highest note for bass clef is F above Middle C. Complies with accessibility description for audio, graphics, and mobility, since there are no "drag and drop" elements to this deck. Therefore, it is accessible for all students, and is suitable for play on small screens, such as mobile phones.
