Hal Leonard Student Keyboard Guide - Beginner Piano Note Chart and Learning Tool | Fits Behind Any 88-Key Piano | Treble and Bass Clef Reference for Lessons and Self-Teaching

Printed on substantial coated (not laminated) card stock, the product is as described. It fits just behind the keys and does line up with the keys on both on my keyboard and grand piano. The price is amazing. Arrived in perfect condition. This would be most appropriate for an early learner. What I particularly like is that the notes are shown on treble and bass cleft staffs from C2 to C6, which I haven't found easily in other references. I personally think this is a better tool than putting stickers on keys as it provides more complete information. Good learning tool.

I purchase these for all my beginner piano students. I allow them to use them up to their six months of lessons. At that time I test them on their note reading/note location on the keyboard. At that point I encourage them to do worksheet on note notation if they still are unable to do the keyboard challenge and note reading. I do recomment this for beginner piano lesson students. If this is used too long it inhibits the student from becomming a good sight reading note reader. This really holds a student back if used too long. I do recommend this products to be used for about the first six months of lessons.

I am an adult beginner who is learning on my own using books and audio/online tutorials. I’m only a few months in and still a beginner by any definition, but I have leaned enough to recognize the limitations of a cheap keyboard with no pedal capacity. I recently upgraded to the Casio PX-770 digital piano, and I am loving the upgrade. My old keyboard had piano stickers which I found really helpful as I am still learning to read music. I debated whether to get piano stickers for the new piano, but didn’t want to ruin its more professional look, so I opted for this removable guide that fits behind the keys instead. I was a little hesitant for two reasons: 1. Some reviews mentioned it not fitting their pianos; and 2. I was afraid it might be too tall and cut off part of the sheet music. Luckily, neither of those concerns came true. I can’t speak to other pianos, but it fits my Privia Px-770 perfectly. Also, although it does sit a little higher than the piano itself, I could easily see over it to the bottom of my sheet music (so maybe for really, really little kids, this might still be an issue?). At any rate, I’m surprised how much better I know the keys now thanks to the stickers I used before, but when i’m learning new songs and not sure where the notes are, this is a great tool. It’s also easily removable, which keeps the piano looking new and professional, and it’s by far the most affordable of these options I saw on Amazon. Highly recommended!

Before this handy, cheap, little paper tool arrived, I had been trying to teach my 10-year old daughter, how to play the piano. We read the books together, going over the alphabet associated with the piano notes multiple times, but, the child of my loins was not getting it. I would point to the note, in the beginning, play it, and tell her calmly, "That is an 'F'." Well, I don't know, if it was because she's 10, or I am lacking in my teaching skills despite my two college degrees, but she still didn't get it. It got to the point where I was playing forte and speaking forte, that is until we put up this piece of paper. It stretches all the way across the piano, and now, my child, who must be Visual-Oriented can see what an "F" is, and is playing the right note. I am too afraid to remove this tool while she plays, less I revert to Forte Mom. Maybe, in a year or so... Oh, sometimes the paper falls over, just push it back behind the keys. Worth the money for the peace of mind.

This is great to unfold, put on a table and practice fingerings for scales. One side is labled the other is not. Full size keys that folds and fits into piano book.

Worked great while my son was learning his piano notes.

I'm going to have this up on my wall till it becomes second nature the placement of the notes. The black notes on white keys are printed clear enough but the sharp & flat notes, white notes printed on black keys are somewhat small. I will still have no trouble reading them but it takes a second to determine the sharp sign from the flat sign. They should have used a slightly larger font. In due time though I won't need the chart but it is helpful as a beginner.

I've only been learning for a few months so I'm pretty basic regarding my knowledge. I am learning fingering, pedaling, how to read music, what keys correspond to what notes and where they're located on the keyboard... it can be pretty overwhelming. I have a Yamaha P95 keyboard and this guide aligns perfectly with the keys. I find it very useful to use as a reference tool when I'm aligning to start a piece or if I get lost and need to reset my finger positions. Of note is that in addition to the keys and notes displayed in the picture, the musical notes are printed on the guide as well. Very useful that. The only problem I have is that I have the guide set upright at the back of the keys. The guide is about 5 inches high so it blocks the bottom measure of the sheet music on my stand. I get around this by propping my book up on the stand using an eraser. I'll have to find about a 1" square wooden dowel to do this so I don't have to balance the songbook. I didn't want to gig the product because of that because there are so many keyboard and piano designs that it's impossible for one size to fit all. On another keyboard, it may not block any piece of your songbook at all.

Made of a good card stock and can stand on it's own when perched correctly at your keyboard. Perfectly fits an 88 key piano. Like this better than stickers as you can quickly remove this as needed and you can keep your keys looking nice and clean. Excellent learning aid for beginners.

This item is great for my new piano really helps my young one while she is learning new song fab

This is a great aid to learning where the keys are as a beginner

I buy these for my theory students to help them when they don't have a keyboard handy and are just starting into theory. They're light, portable and very helpful!

Perfect for the job especially as I am a total beginner on a piano
