第一堂钢琴课对于宝宝来说是个不小的挑战。面对一架大大的钢琴和复杂的音符，很多宝宝会感到害怕或者不耐烦。本文引用了一位英国钢琴老师的“小动物”记音符的方法，非常形象，不妨借鉴一下。

1. Let’s sit in front of the keyboard. Use your right hand to play high notes and left hand to play low notes.

来，坐在键盘前面。用你的右手弹高音，左手弹低音。

2. Arch your fingers over the notes, as if you are holding a small ball or apple. Use the tips of your fingers to press on the piano key. Try not to rest other parts of your fingers and palms on the keys.

手指支撑柱，就像握着一个小球或者苹果一样。用你的指尖弹琴，别把手指和手掌的其他部位放在琴键上。

3. Make sure each note is completely played before you release the piano key and play the next note. Don’t press two or three notes at the same time.

每一个音符要弹实，再把手指抬起来弹下一个音符。别一下弹两三个音符。

4. Let’s try to balance a coin on the back of your hand and play the piano without it sliding off.

咱们试试在你的手背上放一枚硬币，看你在弹琴的时候能不能不让它滑下来。

5. Always make sure to use the right hand for notes / keys higher than middle C and the left hand for notes / keys lower than middle C.

注意右手要一直在中央C的右边，左手在中央C左边。

6. Can you find middle “C” by looking at the 2 black keys in the middle? Middle C comes just before / to the left of these 2 black keys. Since its a C, let’s call it Cat. C for Cat!

你能通过琴键最中间的两个黑键找到中央C吗？这两个黑键前面的一个就是它。因为这是C键，咱们把它叫做小猫， C是小猫。

7. The next note after C / Cat is D for DOG! It is in between the 2 black notes, which looks like a dog’s ears!

C（Cat）下一个音符是D，我们把它叫做小狗。D在两个黑键之间，看起来像小狗的耳朵。

8. E for ELEPHANT comes next. Try to find all the elephants by hopping up and down the keyboard. Do you notice that E is on the other side of the 2 black keys?

下一个是E大象，试着在键盘上找到所有的E， 你注意到他总是在两个黑键的另一端了吗？

9. The next note is F for FROG! Repeat the hopping game again. Notice that F comes just before the group of 3 black notes.

下一个音符是F青蛙！同样在键盘上跳着找到他们，注意它总是在三个黑键的前面。

10. The next note is G for GIRAFFE. Can you find all the Gs along the keyboard?

下一个音符是G长颈鹿。你能在琴键上找到所有的G吗？

11. A for ANTS comes next. You will notice that the full piano keyboard starts and finishes on an A.

下一个是A蚂蚁。你会注意到整个琴键的两端都是A。

12. The last one is B for BEAR. Now all the keys have been named. We have reached C again! Good job!

最后一个是B小熊。现在所有的音符都找到了，因为我们又回到了C！你真棒！
