Free PDF + editable BoboCreate template
Free Piano Note Detective: Find C, The Paper Stars
A complete free case for a first piano lesson at home: eight star clues teach the black-key groups, every C and Middle C.
Both downloads are the free edition. The .bobo file opens in BoboCreate Desktop.
The editable file imports in BoboCreate Free 0.3.19 or later. It uses one of Free's three design places, and its own artwork does not count toward your three uploaded images. Older versions of the app need BoboCreate activated to import it, so update BoboCreate first.
A complete free case for beginners who have not read music yet.
The answer word can only be found by finding the right keys.
What the free template includes
- A story and a Learn box: black-key groups, C and Middle C
- Eight star clues on keyboard strips
- A mystery word to decode from four keys
- A paper keyboard, in color and low-ink
- Answers with a reason for each one
Why black-key groups first
Every white key can be found from the black keys around it. The white key just left of each group of two is always C.
More cases
The Piano Note Detective case files go on to the staff: Middle C, Treble G, Bass F, steps and skips.
