Cut out the color-coded labels on page 63 or 65. Be sur e to set aside the re d “Middle C” label, because t his one is special.

TIP: To make t he labels last longer, ask your paren t or teacher to laminate the sheet of labels befor e cutting t hem.

Attach the “Middle C” label t o the ke yboard. It’s the one neares t the center of the k eyboard that’ s shaped lik e an “ L ”. Y ou can use tape or rem ovable blue put ty to secu re the label.
